The money men breach the holy of holies
Article Abstract:
UK lawyers have begun placing accountants at the helm of their companies, moving away from the custom of keeping lawyers in key roles. Richards Butler appointed Chris Schulten as chief executive at the end of 1995, and Alsop Wilkinson appointed Christopher Honeyman Brown as its chief executive in April 1996. Schulten believes it is possible that twenty or thirty leading law firms will recruit top management from outside the legal profession, and that accountants have the necessary skills.

The men who bring God to the squad
Article Abstract:
There are now 52 football clubs in the UK's Premier and Endsleigh leagues which have their own chaplain. This is because trends over recent years such as corruption, violence and drug abuse have prompted players and fans to think more seriously about issues beyond football. Many clubs now see a chaplain as a pastoral and spiritual supporter, with a particular role in helping young players to adjust to the pressures of top class football.
