Lord of the roads
Article Abstract:
New United Kingdom Transport Minister Lord Gus Macdonald is a self-made millionaire and the only member of the government to have headed a large public company. He is an autodidact, is extremely literate and does not hesitate to display his intellect. He is aware that he is responsible for delivering rapidly on the commitment by Prime Minister Tony Blair to deal with transport policy, an issue which could otherwise cause significant problems for the Labour party at the next general election.

After a lifetime spent on the run in the wild, Britain's most elusive hermit is behind bars
Article Abstract:
Robert Sinclair, who has survived for many years in the Scottish countryside with no access for money, is now being held in Barlinnie prison, Glasgow, Scotland. He awaits sentencing for a series of burglaries across Scotland in which he stole items he required to live, especially food, but no money. A close friend believes that he will attempt suicide, as has happened at least twice in the past when he was in prison.
