Chipps is an embarrassment, no doubt about it, especially to Crocket who keeps fighting fit, defies the world, and doesn't want a great big lad to hold his hand. It's just as well that Chipps has a short memory....

With the world economy deep in recession, trade and industry are in turmoil.
But in some newly industrialising countries the economy is growing steadily - particularly around the Pacific Basin. What is the impact on 'North' and 'South' of new industries such as microelectronics? And how does a traditional industry, such as British textiles, react to the challenge from its competitors?

James has it - to devour him.
Professor John Bowker looks at the way people arc tempted in many situations and how a religious belief offers them the strength and encouragement to stay on course in spite of the temptations.

Whatever Happened to the Energy Crisis?
Energy prices have risen remorselessly for the past ten years. Now, for the first time, they are falling. The recession, combined with conservation measures and a switch to alternative sources, have all brought about a dramatic slump in the demand for oil. Are we about to enter a new era of cheaper and more abundant energy; or is it merely an interlude in a story of ever spiralling energy costs? What happens when the recession ends? Would a return to growth spark off anew energy crisis?
