Even a child-killer should be able to sell her story
Article Abstract:
British au pair Louise Woodward, who has been convicted in the US of the manslaughter of baby Mathew Eappen, would be misguided in selling her story to a tabloid newspaper in the UK. Doing so would undoubtedly gain her the support of the readers of that newspaper, but would probably alienate other newspapers, which may begin presenting her story negatively. She must remember that the popular press in the UK is now more interested in reader numbers than in battling for truth and justice. The best approach would be for her to make her story known to everyone, without limitations or payment.

Making a stand for soap
Article Abstract:
Characters can soon develop their own stories and individual traits, according to performance novelist Heather Woodbury. Her work, 'The Heather Woodbury Report, or What Ever,' which lasts for more than 10 hours over four evenings, has been extremely well received in the US. She does not believe that she was directly influenced by Dickens when she was writing it, but admits that it has certain similarities to his most well known serial novels. She feels that her work appeals to audiences because they can become very involved with the developing characters.

Even the wife of the President of the Unites States sometime had to stand naked
Article Abstract:
The discovery of thousands of photos of nude male students at Yale University in the 1970s caused a scandal, and they were very carefully destroyed. However, many more such 'posture photos' still exist from Yale and other universities, where they used to be routinely taken in freshman orientation week. Each new student was obliged to have metal pins fixed to his or her spine, and those whose pins showed an unusual postural curve were required to attend special postural classes.
