Watch dog to bark or bite

Article Abstract:

Rowlett Research Institute Director Philip James has emphasized the need for the UK independent food agency to be responsible for standards in food and food safety issues. James was asked to draw up ideas for a new food agency by the Labour Government. He anticipates the Food Standards Agency will be in action by Summer 1999. Some 500 employees are expected to transfer to the new agency. James hopes it will be accountable to the public and to parliamentary scrutiny. There is some concern the agency will be compromised if industry is expected to pay for its running costs through a levy.

The luvvie director

Article Abstract:

Peter Holland is delighted with his new appointment as director of the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham, England. Holland's research into Shakespeare has always focussed on performance, so the Institute's connection with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford is a bonus. Experts from both the traditionalist and new historicist branches of Shakespearean studies are united in their appreciation of Holland's approach, and believe that he will revitalize the Shakespeare Institute and Shakespearean studies in the UK.
