Cancer combat

Article Abstract:

The UK government has published a breast cancer guidance paper as part of a wider policy of improving cancer services. This is being despatched to public health officers, trust chief executives, medical directors and people in similar positions, but there is concern that it is not being sent to GPs, who are the first people to see almost all women with breast cancer and play a key role in decisions about treatment. There is widespread agreement that specialist units are the best place for treating breast cancer, as they achieve much higher survival rates that general hospital units.

Sadness, siege and suspicion, but no relief

Article Abstract:

The rape and murder of 13-year-old Caroline Dickinson on a school trip to Pleine-Fougeres, France, has greatly shocked the local community in her home town of Launceston, England. There was some relief when a vagrant was arrested, having reportedly confessed to the crime. However, DNA tests found that he could not have committed the crime. Police attention is now turning to the five boys on the trip, and there is great concern in the town that one of them could have been the culprit.

The tragic lessons of the Holocaust

Article Abstract:

Those who attended the reunion for former pupils of the Grosse Hamburgerstrasse Jewish school in Berlin, Germany, were clearly very shocked, according to television director Elizabeth McIntyre, who managed to make the reunion into a documentary. There were many scenes she did not feel it appropriate to film, but the documentary does recount the history of the Nazi era through the experiences of those who witnessed it. It also uses archive film and Nazi propaganda broadcasts.
