Who'll say no to a flutter?

Article Abstract:

The introduction of the National Lottery has had a dramatic impact on gambling activity in the UK. Until the lottery was introduced, legislation relating to gambling was based on meeting existing demand, rather than on creating any new demand. Now, great efforts are being made to stimulate demand by extensive advertising for the lottery. Some observers point out that the lottery is the most harmless form of gambling, but this is not a valid argument because all gambling, apart from the lottery, is still based on the principle of 'unstimulated demand.'

Listen carefully, Bond. The rules have changed ...

Article Abstract:

The recent controversy over plans by Russia to expel British diplomats for spying has reminded the general public that spying, which has come to be associated closely with the Cold War era, still takes place. It is now undertaken against a background of unspecific industrial and economic threats, rather than against the clear enemy of totalitarian regimes. There is no obvious target, but it seems to be generally accepted that it is still advisable to be aware of what is going on.

Listen and learn from my life of crime

Article Abstract:

Bob, 26, was born into an east London, England family where crime was routine. He has over 40 convictions. His father took him stealing instead of sending him to school. He spent 15 years in and out of penal institutions from the age of 10. He believes street people judge everyone except themselves. Parents' ignorance prevents them training their children. Young criminals do not listen to authority. The lack of rehabilitation in penal institutions reinforces criminal attitudes.
