Why the fur flies in the vivisection debate
Article Abstract:
The UK National Anti-Vivisection Society and the Animal Liberation Front passionately oppose the use of animals for research, but animal studies have led to many scientific advances. Most scientists only use animals if there is no other technique. Warwick University science sociologist Lynda Birke surveyed 43 scientists, who had varying opinions about animal research. A US study found animal activists are likely to be well-educated females aged 20-40. They are more committed to human causes than the average person.

Why Lykyn is a tourist in his own land
Article Abstract:
Ukraine declared independence in 1991, attracting many ex-patriates to visit their homeland. Relatives often believed them dead since German troops took them to labour camps. Memories of childhood remain unchanged as modern amenities have not reached the Carpathian mountain area. Families are poor and shops are empty but the people appreciate their freedom. There is a rich cultural life.
