Decoy Inc

Article Abstract:

It has become increasingly common in the US for women to employ the services of a female decoy if they fear that their partner is being unfaithful. The partner will engage the suspect in conversation in a public place, such as a bar, and ask questions designed to assess whether he is being faithful. The women who use a decoy are usually upset to have confirmation of their partner's infidelity, but believe that it is worth knowing the truth. Some observers criticise the use of decoy, believing that most men would find it very hard to resist the approaches of the very attractive women who work as decoys.

US right hoists its Standard

The launch of weekly magazine 'Standard' by Bill Kristol, who has strong Republican connections, has attracted great interest in the US. The magazine, which has received start-up funding of $4 million from Rupert Murdoch, will attempt to shape conservative thinking, and aims to appeal to journalists, academics and politicians. Kristol sees it as unusual for its strong commitment to ideas.

Charge of the right brigade

Article Abstract:

Many American conservatives are now blaming television and films for the violence, irresponsible sex and collapse of family values which have become common in the US. They are particularly targeting Hollywood, criticising leading film companies as irresponsible. Senator Bob Dole has even gone as far as to mention individual people as being destroyers of morality.
