High flier who brought the USAF down to earth
Article Abstract:
The case of bomber pilot Kelly Flinn has highlighted the serious problems which exist with the US Air Force's policy of equal opportunities for women. Flinn was determined to fly in the US Air Force from an early age, and became the first woman to qualify to fly B-52 bombers. Her situation became precarious when it was discovered that she had entered a relationship with a married man, and it seems that this was used as an excuse to remove her by superior officers who were very opposed to having women in the air force. A number of serious misjudgments were made in handling her case.

Violent dawn raid ends sit-in at church
Article Abstract:
Riot police in Paris, France, have succeeded in removing several hundred illegal immigrants from a church which they had occupied for the last two months. It is expected that a number will be allowed to remain in France, while the rest will be deported shortly. The operation attracted opposition from many angry supporters of the protest, who gathered outside the church and shouted at the police officers.
