No omelettes without broken eggs
Article Abstract:
Recent controversy over the raising of calves in very small crates to be slaughtered for veal has highlighted various aspects of the debate about animal welfare. It seems that many people, particularly those who have previously not cared to know anything about where their meat comes from, have overreacted on this issue. They have become almost like terrorists in their paranoia about animal suffering, and have completely forgotten the main issues of good animal husbandry.

Marks or merks, it's all sterling currency
Article Abstract:
There has been some debate recently about what a single European currency should be called. Germany is rather sensitive on this issue, having particular pride in the strength of its currency. However, the British pound does not really have such associations, and most people have already accepted that it is inappropriate for certain transactions. It is likely that there would be little public concern if the pound were to be replaced with a European currency.

Nick and Joseph were just too good
Article Abstract:
The recent collapse of merchant bank Barings, which some observers believe to have been caused by the actions of a single trader, Nick Leeson, has interested parallels with the scandal which hit Wall Street firm Kidder, Peabody in 1994. In that case, a single trader, Joseph Jett, accumulated debts of $350 million. Jett and Leeson came from very different backgrounds, but in both cases they came under suspicion because they were too successful.
