Eerie echoes in Godzone

Article Abstract:

The economic developments which are currently taking place in New Zealand are very similar to what happened in the UK under Margaret Thatcher. Free enterprise is expanding rapidly, trade union power is declining and the welfare state has been greatly reduced. Foreign direct investment has risen dramatically, with international investors having been attracted by the country's strong economic performance. This free market revolution is not the work of a Conservative government, as in the UK, but of Sir Roger Douglas, the Labour government's minister of finance.

Faint echoes of what our neighbours are like

Article Abstract:

Ground-based radar astronomy has developed new techniques which should produce finely detailed pictures of asteroid 4179 Toutatis. Studies of Mercury in spring 92 using the 70-metre radio dish at Goldstone produced the first pictures of the planet's other side. Ice and large impact basins were discovered. Arecibo, Puerto Rico scientists can define features 250 feet across on Mars. Radar has shown that Titan does not always keep the same hemisphere towards its home planet as was previously thought.

Look what the neighbours have done

Article Abstract:

Victorian terraced houses can be completely different inside although they look exactly the same outside. In a London street there is a flat-fronted terrace of houses with basements. Each had two rooms on each floor and a small room on each half-landing. Some have open-plan basement kitchens, some have five bedrooms, rear extensions, some have no interior walls and some remain as they were built.
