One is simple and predictable; the other unfathomably complex. Such was the nature of the clash last week between the United States and Iraq. To comprehend why President Bill Clinton ordered the launch of the cruise missiles, think Hollywood, then think US elections, and his motives fall easily into place. Hollywood is defined by the political scientist who wrote Jihad vs McWorld, Benjamin Barber, as the quintessential expression of McWorld’s “infantile” consumerist culture. Entitled Jihad vs McWorld, a book published last year in the US characterises our era in terms of a conflict between modern global consumerism and ancient tribalisms rooted in blood. The project is not just about rebuilding but includes a long-term management contract includingcleaning, maintenance and security services.. “They know it’s not in their interests to promote drinking and driving.”But Fred Broughton, chairman of the Police Federation, believes sponsorship is no subsitute for adequate funding.
He fears a conflict of interests, which could leave the public believing some companies getpreferential treatment. There is also concern that separate regulations which allow local authorities to buy extra policing could create a disparity between rich counties and poorer metropolitan areas. In Corby, Northants, the council spent pounds 110,000 raised by its Sunday market to fund four town- centre beat bobbies for a year to meet a public demand.Some sponsorship deals have been vetoed, as with the optician who suggested that officers in Hampshire stop motorists, ask them to read a number plate and if they cannot, give them vouchers for a free sight test at the practice. An eye-catching Thresher’s logo on a van donated to Avon and Somerset was scaled down after complaints.The use of private money to pay for a new police station in Ilkeston will also raise eyebrows. The 100 officers and support staff are happy to be guinea-pigs, knowing that lack of funds and Home Office priorities mean that work on a new station could not otherwise start until the next century.According to the force’s director of adminstration, David Wyatt, the former mining town’s 19th-century police station is “rubbish” and the new deal will save the force money.
In principle, Mr Philpott sees no difficulty in accepting sponsorship from off-licences or breweries although campaigners against drink-driving have expressed disquiet at the idea. “A lot of drinks companies now are about encouraging sensible drinking,” he said. In some respects, sponsoring us is no different from sponsoring a sports event.”North Yorkshire has its own guidelines governing what constitutes an appropriate sponsor. Home Office policy, while advising that outside funding should not be directed at front-line services, leaves much to chief constables’ discretion. With other gifts, the total haul is worth pounds 100,000.Mr Philpott does not believe in cold-calling prospective sponsors, but has found considerable willingness among busineses to have their name linked with the police “We are doing good for the community, that’s our brand. Avon and Somerset’s suites for victims of sex assaults were fitted out by several firms, including the Body Shop.Leading the way is North Yorkshire, the first force to recruit a sponsorship and marketing officer. Since Roy Philpott was appointed at the end of last year, he has seen it acquire mobile phones and pagers from a manufacturer, sponsored cars from a Ford dealer, and car-stopping devices from an anonymous source.

His division has already built and tested prototype systems and he reckons that working versions could be incorporated into cars by 2000.”This could double the pedestrian detection range for the average driver, and quadruple it for older drivers,” he said. Research has found that drivers try to avoid night journeys as they get older, partly because natural eye deterioration causes problems watching the road, especially with oncoming headlights. In such circumstances, drivers are often unable to see properly because they are temporarily blinded.. Senior judges may be asked to declare whether they are members of a Masonic lodge in an effort to assess the prevalence of Freemasonry in the higher levels of the judiciary. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, told the House of Commons Home Affairs select committee he would consider asking the 150 most senior judges – the Law Lords, Court of Appeal and High Court judges – whether they were prepared to take part in the exercise.
In response to a letter from the committee, Lord Mackay told them: “I could invite the judiciary to say, if they wish to, whether or not they were Freemasons.” But he did not immediately undertake to carry out the statistics-gathering exercise, and made it clear that if he did, he would not insist upon a declaration.Lord Mackay told the committee, which is conducting a lengthy investigation into the influence of Freemasonry in the police and judiciary, that he saw no justification for an obligatory register, whether confidential or published. And there was no point to a voluntary register as a failure to declare membership would attract no sanction.But he agreed to consider polling the most senior judges after committee chairman Sir Ivan Lawrence told him it was impossible to gauge whether there was a problem with undue Masonic influence in the police and judiciary without knowing the numbers involved.Labour MP Chris Mullin said there was a suspicion that an “unhealthily large” proportion of the legal profession were Masons and “give each other a leg up when the time comes.”But Lord Mackay insisted he had no reason to think that the Freemasons did exert any improper influence over the judiciary. “I’m aware of no evidence of any substance to suggest that Freemasonry has an adverse influence, indeed any influence at all, in relation to the conduct of the judiciary,” he said.
He assured the committee that he himself was not a Freemason, nor ever had been.. Cars will soon come with infra-red night vision systems able to pick out people and objects that drivers otherwise might not see, following research by Jaguar. The new systems would use cameras sensitive to infrared radiation emitted from the front of the car. The enhanced image of the road and obstacles ahead, consisting of heat reflected from otherwise invisible objects, would then be projected in visible light onto the windscreen.
“Technically, we are really quite close to this,” said Paul Mulvanny, principal technical specialist at Jaguar Engineering in Whitley.
His division has already built and tested prototype systems and he reckons that working versions could be incorporated into cars by 2000.”This could double the pedestrian detection range for the average driver, and quadruple it for older drivers,” he said. Research has found that drivers try to avoid night journeys as they get older, partly because natural eye deterioration causes problems watching the road, especially with oncoming headlights. In such circumstances, drivers are often unable to see properly because they are temporarily blinded. The infrared system would compensate for this.US insurance industry figures suggest that driving at night is disproportionately dangerous: 55 per cent of serious accidents occur at night, with just 28 per cent of daytime traffic volumes.The biggest problem will be to get the cost low enough to make it economical to include as a standard fitting. The system requires special headlamps, an infrared camera, projector and specially-developed glass for the windscreen.”It’s a chicken-and-egg situation,” said Mr Mulvanny “If we could fit it for free, then everyone would want one. Our initial target is the sort of people who bought in-car navigation system.
Those initially cost about pounds 3,000, but the cost has come down considerably The same would apply here.”. One of England’s oldest adult education colleges, founded 150 years ago to provide a liberal education for working-class men, is being rocked by an internal dispute over claims that its governors are betraying its socialist roots and succumbing to the pressures of the marketplace. The Working Men’s College, in Camden, north London, which boasts John Ruskin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Charles Kingsley among its former staff, is the focus of a clash between a philanthropic educational tradition in which teachers once worked for free, and the harsh reality of modern further-education funding.
The battle to dictate the identity of the college in the next millennium has pitched a group of staff, claiming an ally in the ghost of the institution’s Christian Socialist founder Frederick Maurice, against the principal, Lord McIntosh of Haringey, Labour’s deputy spokesman in the House of Lords.The row centres on plans approved by the college corporation, a board of trustees and directors, for a fundamental shake-up of the way the institution is governed. The proposal is for the present system, in which the corporation oversees the college’s trust funds but delegates educational and policy matters to an elected council of staff and students, to be replaced with a single governing body.The rebels claim the move, which they hope to challenge in the courts, is undemocratic and out of keeping with the founder’s ideals since it would leave no more than one-third of seats on the new body for teachers and students. But Lord McIntosh and the college’s warden, Evelyn Murray, insist that a change is essential if the tradition of providing education for people with little access to other forms of study is to be continued.Malvern Hostick, art teacher, college council member and a critic of the reforms, fears they will destroy a key aim of the founder who saw students taking control of their studies.
