"In the course of our enquiry we received much evidence, both oral and written, to which we have not referred in this report. We have, however, investigated with care all the available evidence on all the incidents in Sowle's life which could possibly give rise to the view that he was in April 1961 a potential danger to the public. We have summarised that evidence in the course of this report. ...

In this article we propose a strategy for the summarization of scientific articles that concentrates on the rhetorical status of statements in an article: Material for summaries is selected in such a way that summaries can highlight the new contribution of the source article and situate it with respect to earlier work. We provide a gold standard for summaries of this kind consisting of a substa...

During the past three months Members of Parliament have had before them several Bills dealing with matters directly or indirectly connected with mental health.

Indeed, seeing the coverage of molecular biology research in Europe, one c...

THE PAGES ANNOUNCING WORKS TO COME in Jean Genet's published texts from about the 1950s onwards warrant more than passing notice. Should one in 1954 have opened the Jean-Jacques Pauvert edition of L£s Bonnes in which for the first time the two versions of the play appear side by side, one would have read "En preparation chez le meme editeur: L'Enfer (un vo­ lume)." Assuming a developing taste f...

During the past few months a very wide variety of topics with at least some mental health aspect has been discussed in Parliament. While some have reflected controversy, others, in particular the Mental Health Bill, have been accorded a wide measure of general agreement. In the Debate on the Queen's Speech, (Hansard 31.10.58), the present level of crime was subjected to a factual analysis. The ...
