O clouds, unfold!
Article Abstract:
There has been a significant revival of interest in the work of 19th century poet William Blake in the UK recently. The most important development related to Blake has been the creation of definitive Blake Website on the Internet by Tim Heath, owner of the Blake House in London, England. Blake held anti-establishment views, and would probably have been very interested in the spirit of dissent and eclecticism which is a key feature of the Internet. There is also extensive research into Blake in the US, where he has always been very popular.

For an instant pick-me-up, trip along to the Vitamin Shoppe
Article Abstract:
There is an enormous market for vitamins and health foods in the US, where sales rose by 22.7% in 1994 and the health foods industry now has turnover of $7.55 billion a year. It is well worth purchasing vitamins on a visit to the US, as prices are low and many different products are available. Most vitamin shops will have books containing advice for customers, but staff are not allowed to offer any medical advice. It is worth looking at smaller shops, where the range is not so vast, if purchasing vitamins for the first time.

Bible attacks!
Article Abstract:
Hollywood film studios are increasingly introducing a religious element into science fiction films. In 'Event Horizon,' for example, the main character is seen going to Hell and meeting a range of demons, while in 'Contact' the heroine goes to Heaven on a spaceship. Films of this kind are as much about religion as about science, and have a very traditional moral message. The audience sees that Heaven must be yearned for and travelled to, while Hell enters people's lives unexpectedly.
