Hot on hellfire, strict on syntax
Article Abstract:
Knowledge has become too widespread in modern society, making ordinary people fearful about many potential catastrophes, according to novelist Beryl Bainbridge. She has recently seen a sharp rise in her popularity, and this has come as a surprise to her. Previously, she had a cult following but her books did not really sell in very large numbers. She is above all a libertarian, even though she feels that educational standards have declined in modern times.

The wicked queen
Article Abstract:
The cinema is a serious cultural threat to the Christian church, according to author and critic Camille Paglia, who became notorious for her criticism of feminists. She believes that there is a need to revive old standards in film production and to focus on the fundamentals of film. She is currently Professor of Humanities at the performance-art-based University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, and enjoys being a long way from the Ivy League.
