The Puritans are on the run

Article Abstract:

Signs are beginning to emerge of changes in the climate of moral and social opinion in the US. It has become increasingly uncommon for Democrats to be attacked as liberal, while the influence of the religious right has waned. Gun control and abortion have become less reliable issues on which the right can campaign. These changes in social and moral opinion may the result of the influence of the 1960s generation, with its live-and-let-live attitude, but could also have been prompted by the rise of competent technocrats and the decline of machine politicians in local government.

Au revoir to France's secret empire?

Article Abstract:

There is a strong feeling in France that the media empire built up by Robert Hersant could face an uncertain future following his recent death. It has been made clear that his Socpress group will not be broken up, but there are still doubts about its prospects, partly because of its nature and partly because of the character of Hersant himself. He has extremely secretive, and the group has never published any audited figures. There are now reports that Hersant's operations are in severe financial difficulties.
