Mr Imperfect
Article Abstract:
Actor Bill Cosby became extremely popular in the US through his 1980s television situation comedy 'The Cosby Show.' Many elements of the show reflected his own life, and he came across as a warm, loving person. For this reason, he attracted sympathy when his son was killed. However, his public image has been severely dented by claims by 22-year-old Autumn Jackson that she is his illegitimate child. He has subsequently admitted that this could be possible.

Bedevilled in the deep blue sea
Article Abstract:
The current conflict between Canada and Spain over fishing for halibut, a very unattractive and unversatile fish, has refocused attention on the problem of overfishing. It could even represent an opportunity to bring about a resolution of the problem, indicating to politicians the disasters which may arise in the future if the overfishing of the world's oceans is not halted as soon as possible.

Dole ordered to keep smiling as Republican battle grows bitter
Article Abstract:
The outcome of the forthcoming New Hampshire primary remains very uncertain. Bob Dole has been campaigning vigorously, but he is facing strong competition from Lamar Alexander and Pat Buchanan. Some voters see Dole as being too old to beat president Bill Clinton. However, he must win in New Hampshire if he is to stand a chance in other state primaries.
