As a young man, Michael Ellison had no ambition to play centre forward for
Halifax Town - nor even to become one of the area's textile millionaires.
Instead, he wanted to be the town clerk. Twenty years or so later, he made it. The job is now called, grandly, Chief Executive, and it makes him one of the busiest men in Calderdale. Rumour has it they call him the Whip.

Rough Guide to the World
Tokyo
Magenta De Vine and Sankha Guha visit the epicentre of high-tech consumption, where they explore a wedding palace, an electronic love-hotel and a late-night host bar.
They also learn how to make massive profits from tweaking the nails in a bagatelle machine, and discover from a traditional fortune-teller why Japanese rastas wear stick-on beards. Also, nouvelle eel cuisine, credit-card survival kits, capsule hotels and the biggest pile of garbage in the world.

Perestroika for Psychiatry?
Since 1983, Soviet psychiatry had been out in the cold - shunned for its abuse of psychiatry. Poets, writers and scientists troublesome to the state have often been diagnosed as schizophrenic and forcibly interned in high-security psychiatric institutions. Have the new winds of reform reached into the asylums? When it meets in October in Athens, will the World Psychiatric
Association re-admit the Soviet Union?
Kapitza, the Crocodile and the Kremlin
A portrait of the remarkable Russian physicist, Peter Kapitza and his extraordinary apprenticeship in Cambridge until his detention in the Soviet Union by Stalin - the start of a series of dangerous encounters with the Kremlin, as Kapitza struggles to keep politics out of the laboratory.

by Maurice Leitch. With
Kenny's work as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital isn't just a job, it's a vocation. His special group of patients are his friends - his only friends.
When a strange young man is introduced to the group, he threatens the love, discipline and respect that have been the very basis of Kenny's authority, and all that surrounds the institution is scant protection from the madness of the world beyond.
