30,000 can stay - but no benefits

Article Abstract:

The Refugee Council has responded negatively to the UK government's decision to allow up to 30,000 asylum-seekers to remain in the country in accommodation purchased by the Home Office. The organization feels that the asylum-seekers, who will have no choice in where they live and will not be entitled to welfare benefits, will be isolated and neglected. Reform of the immigration and asylum system will allow 10,000 asylum-seekers who made their initial claim before Jul 1, 1993, to remain indefinitely.

Parents lose battle with the greens

Article Abstract:

Many British children are now able to exert so much influence over their parents that they are allowed to eat exactly what they want. By failing to have a sufficient intake of vegetables, they are being exposed to a greater risk of cancer. This problem is made worse by the fact that schools now allow even the youngest pupils to select their own food from menus. Experts point out that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is a key way of preventing certain forms of cancer.

A dilemma for the arts elite: Middle Britain knows just what it likes: queues at the Tate shrink without a star name

Article Abstract:

The Tate Gallery, London, England, argues that attendance has shrunk following a policy to show works by artists who are not especially well known. Attendance tends to increase when well-known artists like Picasso or Cezanne are shown, but the gallery arges that it has a duty to show other works as well as those of the famous. The gallery does not charge admission fees for its permanent collection. Attendance can increase at museums even when they do charge fees.
