Brains in their tales
Article Abstract:
The idea that job prospects for arts, humanities and languages graduates are much bleaker than for graduates with vocationally oriented degrees is belied by data published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). HESA figures show that 82.3% of students graduating with an English degree in 1994/95 were either in work or undertaking further study or training within six months. The equivalent figure for graduates in the HESA's business and administrative studies category, which covers areas perceived as directly vocational such as accountancy and financial management, was 83.3%.

Caliphate: A fantasy worth dying for?
Article Abstract:
The Internet has hundreds of Muslim websites asserting the past glories of the caliphate and the desirability of its revival, arguing that Muslims, Christians and Jews would all be much better off under such rule. However, it is argued that such idealization of the caliphate and agitation for its revival are part of a dangerous distortion of Islamic history that is receiving strong support from groups such as the Al-Qaeda.
