This week: Love on the Dole
In the bad old days of mass unemployment, they used to say that love went out of the window when poverty came through the door. Today, when it seems that no one's job is absolutely secure, what would the romantics say in a world of money-worship and hire-purchase commitments?
The dole can mean more than material hardship-the soul can be damaged, the spirit corroded. When no one knows if he - or she - will be next to join the dole queue, what happens to the quality of marriage, the atmosphere of family, a man and his children, wedding plans for two, a blossoming courtship? When the bread-winner gets the sack, can love survive on the dole?

A French Army Officer is convicted of treason on falsified evidence and left to rot on Devil's Island.
The Dreyfus case remains one of the most infamous miscarriages of justice, for Alfred Dreyfus, the tragic pawn sacrificed to save the face of the French establishment, was a Jew.
