His master's vice

Article Abstract:

Anthony-Noel Kelly is an artist who lives in Clapham, London, England. He achieved fame when he was in court for stealing body parts which he had smuggled out of the Royal College of Surgeons. He had been asked to illustrate a work on surgery, and then became interested in the work. He has a fascination for dead objects, but will not discuss where this fascination has originated. He has a new exhibition entitled 'Birthdays', which is based on photographs that depict naked people, but the media are less interested in the exhibition than in his theft of body parts.

Beware the dog squad

Article Abstract:

Many of the 16,500 residents of Sandbach, England, feel that dog fouling has become a very serious problem in the town. The borough of Congleton, England, in which Sandbach is located, has already implemented the 1996 Dog Fouling of Land Act, under which councils can fine and prosecute people who permit dogs to foul in public. Nine fixed penalties have been issued so far. In response to complaints from local people, tougher action is now to be taken, including listing in the local newspaper the names of people given fixed penalties for dog fouling.

Would you get involved to stop this? The Home Secretary says it's your duty

Article Abstract:

It is everybody's duty to intervene to stop petty crime, according to UK Home Secretary Jack Straw. This view is not shared by the police, who emphasize that those who intervene could be placing themselves at risk. The police prefer people to alert them by telephone to any problems with petty crime. Community workers are also reluctant to state categorically that people should intervene physically if they witness petty crime, stating that fear of intervention may be perfectly justified.
