Raising the standard
Article Abstract:
The UK government's Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) aims to ensure that UK businesses meet basic ethical standards in the production of their goods. The government claims that the ETI, launched in Jan 1998, is a response to increasing consumer demands for ethical production. The government has drawn up a draft code of conduct and it maintains that it has obtained a supportive response from major companies including leading supermarket chains. The ETI will use pilot projects to test the practicality of imposing ethical standards on suppliers in Third World countries.

In my time: scenes of scientific life
Article Abstract:
A renowned scientist looks back as his early life experiences. At the time of World War II, he was in England and subsequently pursued his molecular electronic spectroscopy career in France. Problems of astrophysics, nonlinear optics and biology were addressed in his work at the Berkeley campus of the University of California. Techniques used included optical and mass spectroscopies and synchrotron radiation as a source of excitation. Plans for the future include possible work in laboratory/observational studies related to formation in space of biological molecules.
