Deepest cut for medicine
Article Abstract:
The new medical curriculum which is being introduced in Scottish universities does not give students a scientific education, but merely offers a technical training. The traditional curriculum was firmly centred on science and research, whereas the new curriculum has seen the sciences reduced to a core of 'relevant' knowledge which is then integrated with clinical studies. The new system is not based on lectures, but on problem-based learning in small groups, while teaching has been replaced by 'facilitating'.

Celebrity has its price on the Net
Article Abstract:
There is still considerable legal conflict over the practice of warehousing, in which somebody registers the name of a well-known company or a celebrity for use as a web site address and then tries to sell the name at a much higher price to the company or the individual concerned. A company known as Naughtya Page, for example, has registered the domain names tonyblair.com and princessdiana.com, while Friend to Friend has registered a wide range of names, including nelsonmandela.com and jeremyirons.com.
