Wedded to their vision

Article Abstract:

Designers Robin and Lucienne Day were extremely influential in the UK in the early post-war period. Robin was most well known for his functional appliances and furniture, while Lucienne designed furnishing fabrics and wallpaper. They were consultants to the John Lewis Partnership between 1962 and 1987. Like American designers Charles and Ray Eames, they believed that all areas of design are connected. They have derived considerable benefit from their ability to be honest with each other, offering constructive criticism.

American TV's oral tradition

Article Abstract:

Television coverage in the US of the alleged relationship between Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton has largely revolved around picking up on and speculating about rumours. The story has unfolded very rapidly, and audiences have been left bemused. Ordinary people who have been interviewed by journalists have tended to take a moderate line, believing that Clinton should be allowed to simply get on with his job. This contrasts sharply with the extreme stance being adopted by journalists.

Wedded to an old tradition

Article Abstract:

Many young Asian women in the UK still accept the fact that their parents will arrange a marriage for them, even if they are very westernised in other ways. They feel that they owe it to their parents to agree to an arranged marriage, but in many cases are determined to have the final say in the choice of husband. The process of choosing the right partner can cause great tension within the family.
