Lines in praise of 'traditional' poetry
Article Abstract:
Some observers feel that poetry is unapproachable for many people and that it will only secure its future if it adapts to modern technology such as CDs. This view is in fact misguided. Young people are actually very familiar with poetry which deals with their own experience of life, and they trust poets to communicate. There may be a trend towards communicating poetry electronically, but this will never replace poetry in its written or spoken form.

In praise of the maligned Mr Portillo
Article Abstract:
Recent media coverage of defence secretary Michael Portillo has portrayed him very unfavourably. Remarks he made have been misrepresented, and he has become the victim of a personal campaign by the media and the Labour party. The best response he could make would be to remain calm, remembering that Labour party moves to distort what he said are purely a reflection of that party's lack of confidence in its own policies.

In praise of compilations
Article Abstract:
Compilation albums have until recent years generally been of poor quality. However, this is now beginning to change, and there are a small number of specialist companies which work very hard on producing high quality compilations. Such albums can play an important role in introducing new artists and even entire types of music which have not previously come to the attention of the general public.
