The end of an empire? Not quite
Article Abstract:
The UK now only has a small number of dependent territories, most of which are very small and are of no military significance. It is not expected that any of these territories will express a wish to sever ties with the UK in the foreseeable future, but a number are facing varying degrees of political tension and none are completely happy with their circumstances. They are particularly concerned about the British Nationality Act of 1981, under which they lost full British citizenship.

Four criminal charges that could sink the presidency
Article Abstract:
It is anticipated that President Bill Clinton will face four charges of criminal misconduct following the release by independent counsel Kenneth Starr of his report into Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton could be charged with obstruction of justice, witness tampering, perjury and abuse of power. Such a development would make his future in politics extremely uncertain. He is seeking to gain support by apologizing for his behaviour.

The damning of Clinton
Article Abstract:
President Bill Clinton could see his political career brought to an end by the report produced by independent counsel Kenneth Starr. This report contains detailed information about Clinton's sexual preferences, and also presents 11 grounds on which he could be impeached. Ordinary Americans will react very negatively to the sexual revelations and allegations of perjury, and many now feel that Clinton does not share their values.
