Are you just one of Myra's lynch mob?
Article Abstract:
The decision by UK home secretary Michael Howard to make it clear that Myra Hindley, who was convicted of multiple murders in the 1960s, will never be released has been widely welcomed. Many people feel that she could still be a danger to children, and that she should be made to suffer as the families of her victims have. Few people have raised the issue of forgiveness, and most people do not feel that those who have committed terrible crimes can ever change and repent of what they have done.

Diana the do-gooder versus the bad guys
Article Abstract:
The recent visit of the Princess of Wales to Angola, where she spoke out against land-mines, has caused considerable controversy. Some observers believe that she is very naive, and should not deal with sensitive issues of this kind. However, it is clear that she is very good at choosing causes in which human compassion is extremely important. She has managed to eliminate the artificial boundary between her public life and her private life, and this makes her critics feel threatened.
