A yearning for peace
Article Abstract:
The Palestinian issue is seen as the most important by the Israeli electorate. The Labour Party wants compromise with the Palestinians and other Arab states, the Likud Party sees the West Bank as historically belonging to the Jews. Neither party wishes to give the West Bank independence. Immigration and high levels of unemployment and poverty are problem areas, as is Israel's proportional representation voting system. The voting system is under reform.

Russians dying for a drink: Are more Russian men dying from alcoholism because the government finds sozzled citizens easier to control?
Article Abstract:
The largest rise in Russian mortality has occurred amongst men of working age and this has been attributed by the Russian press, to excessive alcohol consumption. The level of alcohol consumption per head has risen, although international studies do not confirm direct links between average life expectancy and alcohol consumption. Mortality from infectious diseases also increased steeply in the country between 1992 and 1994.
