Breaks make a world of difference
Article Abstract:
The Family Holiday Association helped 900 deprived families to have a week's holiday in the UK in 1993. Sick and poor people benefit greatly from a break. Eighty-seven per cent of doctors consider a holiday valuable in improving some illnesses. Winged Fellowship helps 5,000 severely physically disabled people have holidays each year, and advises carers on respite funding. Arthritis Care has five hotels suitable for its 65,000 members and helps with transport problems. Holiday Endeavour for Lone Parents (Help) arranges block bookings for self-catering accommodation for single-parent families.

I may be a liberal, but make my day
Article Abstract:
Many Americans who profess to be liberal and believe in gun control are licenced to purchase guns in 1993. Gun-owners in Los Angeles increased by 45% after the race riots of 1992. Famous New Yorkers Bill Cosby, Joan Rivers and Donald Trump are licensed to carry guns. Increasing violence in the US encurages ordinary, nice people to purchase guns for self-protection. People who philosophise that only the police should have guns find that in reality they are needed for self-defence.
