Teach me to be the next Bill Gates

Article Abstract:

Many of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, including Richard Branson and Bill Gates, failed to complete formal higher education. Even in today's competitive business culture, universities and colleges do not really seem to encourage entrepreneurship. Indeed, students are often actively discouraged from setting up their own businesses. However, it is worth being aware that a formal higher education can have some advantages in business. Research indicates that the majority of rapidly expanding companies are headed by people who have a degree.

Put it all down to hysteria

Article Abstract:

Many modern afflictions are caused by psychological disturbances, according to Elaine Showalter, feminist academic and professor of English at Princeton. She believes that chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME, and Gulf war syndrome have the same root causes as psychological ailments such as recovered memory syndrome, memories of alien abduction or satanic abuse and multiple personality syndrome. These ailments are becoming increasingly widespread because of extensive publicity and society's lack of understanding for mental difficulties.

Lost and not found

Article Abstract:

Many people go missing every year in the UK. This is most common among teenagers, especially girls aged 14-15, many of whom come from unstable backgrounds and may have been in council care. Most are later discovered alive and well, but there are still cases where people disappear without trace and are never found again. More than 20,000 people went missing in London alone in 1994/95, of whom more than 200 have not yet been found.
