Teachers' pet
Article Abstract:
Caroline St John-Brooks has been chosen to succeed Pat Rowan as editor of the Times Educational Supplement in Apr 1997. She comes from a strong background in education, and has also worked in the front line of journalism. She is a safe choice for a publication which is read by the vast majority of teachers in the UK and is one of the most profitable owned by Rupert Murdoch in terms of profit in relation to circulation. There would have been considerable upheaval at the publication if Melanie Phillips, columnist on the Observer newspaper, had been selected for the post.

A vision of Whitehall on the Net
Article Abstract:
The UK government has made a firm commitment to using latest information technology to improve the delivery of public services. It believes that this technology can form the basis for a new era in administrative links between the government and ordinary people. Those who do not have a PC in their own home will still be able to benefit from the use of information technology in public services through public access terminals provided by British Telecommunications and, in the near future, through digital interactive television.

The true cost of corruption
Article Abstract:
The recent allegations of corruption in the Strathclyde district of Monklands have highlighted how widespread corruption is in local government in the UK. This tends to happen where one party has been in power for a long time and has resources, such as contracts or council flats, to dispose of. Latest forms of corruption include the incorrect allocation of grants and the misuse of voluntary bodies.
