Aids and the grim arithmetic of death

Article Abstract:

There is no immediate prospect of a cure for Aids. Interim strategy must include social education in addition to medical research since Aids is most prevalent in socially disadvantaged areas. Forecasting the growth of Aids is difficult. With no effective treatment in sight, and since preventive measures such as condoms are too expensive or unappealing for poor high-risk groups, Aids will continue to spread. Religion has more clout than education in impoverished countries where Aids is common but governments still need to devise a preventive strategy.

The hidden dangers of Kylie' world

Article Abstract:

Chairman of the UK Broadcasting Standards Council William Rees-Mogg believes that televisions's focus on the present is helping to erode traditional values and spiritualism. Television programmes on the whole are naive, innocent and lightweight. BBC2 which covers science and history is not a popular channel and caters for minority taste. Channel 4 is intellectual but is not historical. There are few references to art, religion and philosophy on the four UK television channels. UK television is modernist and presents the past in a trivial manner.
