Friends and believers bid farewell to Nobel laureate

Article Abstract:

Nobel science prizewinner and physicist Abdus Salam died on November 21, 1996, after being ill for more than a decade. Salam shared the Nobel physics prize in 1979 with Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow for his work on electromagnetism and weak nuclear force. Salam was the founding director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy. He was forced to leave Pakistan in 1974 due to his membership to the much-persecuted Ahmadi minority community. He remained loyal to his country to the end.

Greenpeace defiant in face of threat from oil company

Article Abstract:

Environmental group Greenpeace has promised that it will not protest at British Petroleum's (BP) Foinaven oilfield, but is not prepared to make a commitment not to undertake direct action at Schiehallion, the other main oilfield at new reserves west of the Shetland islands known as the Atlantic Frontier. BP seems to have been successful in publicizing the fact that Greenpeace was acting illegally, even though it has had to drop its threat of damages against Greenpeace.
