What is the real Newt Gingrich?
Article Abstract:
There has been extensive media comment recently about the apparent similarities between the Republican right in the US, led by Newt Gingrich, and the Conservative right in the UK, headed by Michael Portillo. This has generally assumed that Newt Gingrich, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is the key figure in US politics. However, polls indicate that he has little support among ordinary middle-class Americans, and some people are very concerned about his radicalism. Against this background, Michael Portillo in fact has more in common with Labour party leader Tony Blair.

Slaughter in Oklahoma
Article Abstract:
Up to 250 of the 550 people assigned to work at the Murrah federal government building on Oklahoma City remain unaccounted for after a car bomb devastated the building. More than 200 people have been injured, some of them children from a day-care centre on the second floor of the nine-storey building. No warning was given about the bombing, and no group has claimed responsibility.
