Who would be a politician's wife in 1997?

Article Abstract:

Much media coverage of spouses of the UK's political leaders implies that they should simply remain in the shadows. However, this is in fact impossible, given that voters are very keen to see the human side of politicians. Remaining secretive about a spouse prompts suspicion and speculation, and may lead opponents to conclude that the spouse is a weak point to attack. Politicians' spouses inevitably take on a public persona, in spite of any efforts they may make not to do so.

Stress? It's as old as the hills

Article Abstract:

Some observers have adopted a dismissive attitude towards stress, claiming that it is simply a modern, fashionable condition. It is certainly true that people living today, who enjoy relative wealth and high standards of medical care and housing, have less reason to be stressed than their ancestors did. However, it is clear that stress can produce definite physical and psychological symptoms. People are now working very long hours, and tend to suffer from a lack of support.

Predatory proprietors revel in a tussle with the law

Article Abstract:

Moves by some UK newspapers to reduce their cover price to levels below which it is possible for them to make a profit has been interpreted by some observers as predatory behaviour. However, the Office of Fair Trading has disagreed, stating that price reductions are simply aggressive competition. This conflict highlights the difficulties involved in distinguishing between aggressive competition and predatory behaviour, which is ultimately anti-competitive.
