Why did we fail in Suez?

Article Abstract:

The UK, in the face of opposition from the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in November 1956. did not succeed in solving th Suez crisis to its satisfaction as it lacked the courage to complete its plan to overthrow Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian leader, and overturn his decision to nationalise the Suez Canal. Anthony Eden, UK Prime Minister, and his cabinet believed that the matter merited war, but the situation caused such stress that he called his troops out and resigned. The UK and France had collaborated with Israel against Egypt.

Saucy scoops fail to cure weak circulation

Article Abstract:

Statistics from the Audit Bureau of Circulations show a 3.4% reduction in sales of the Sun, Star and Daily Mirror between May and Nov 1992. Coverage of disasters failed to increase circulation permanently. However, sales of Today and the Daily Mail increased. The Guardian's new second section was popular. Sunday papers tended to fare better. Sir David Calcutt will present his recommendations on preventing press intrusion into privacy, which may forbid secret recording and long-lens photography.

Tighter laws fail to curb attacks by pit-bull terriers

Article Abstract:

Pit-bull terrier attacks on humans increased in 1992 despite new laws in 1991. Between Jan and May 1992, 107 attacks, nearly half of all dog attacks in London, England, were by pit-bull terriers. Although 5,100 pit-bulls have been registered, owners of 2,200 spoke to police but have not registered their animals. The RSPCA wants reforms to the Dangerous Dogs Act but the Government insists that it is essential. The definition of pit-bulls can be an illusive because many have been cross-bred.
