SMOKING IN PUBS?The Government is going to forbid smoking in all pubs under new proposals to protect drinkers and bar staff

from passive smoking. The Cabinet has given up plans to make an exception with pubs that do not serve food,and is preparing to allow pubs to have separate smoking rooms. Similarly, Patricia Hewitt, the Secretary of Statefor Health, is examining plans to allow a smoking-carriage option (smoking is banned on almost all British trains).It would keep the bar smoke-free, protect staff, but permit smokers to light up in a separate area.5

The Government had been worried about being accused of discriminating against smokers, particularlyworking-class Labour voters. The plan for a total prohibition was going to be discussed at a cabinet meeting thisweek but the deliberation has been postponed after last-minute doubts. Ms Hewitt is said to support a fullprohibition but wants to find a practical solution acceptable to the whole Cabinet. Ministerial supporters of a

complete ban believe that forbidding smoking in the workplace would help addicts to give up their habit. Others in10Government think they would be accused of operating an overprotective state if they prohibited smoking.

Smoking-related diseases kill more than 100,000 people a year and cost the National Health Service millionsof pounds treating people with such diseases. The move is now publicly welcomed.

DONT FORGET THE CLASSICSRead the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all. This seems good advice nowadays

since most students read just a few classics in high school. Their teachers, tired of pushing teenagers through 19thcentury novels, long ago replaced traditional works with more reader-friendly texts. Consequently, we have ageneration of students who never heard of Odysseus or turned on the switch in Victor Frankenstein's laboratory.5

Students who are used to the pace of MTV and video games have less and less patience for slow-moving plot anddetailed, descriptive passages. In an attempt to reach this new audience, teachers brought contemporary andmulticultural literature into their classrooms. But there is the danger of forgetting literary criteria. Instead of choosingbooks with literary merituniversal themes, rich language, complex charactersteachers select simpler stories withcharacters to whom they think their students can relate.10

Hopefully, reading such high-interest, familiar stories would lead students to increasingly challenging works.However, many teenagers never take the next step. Teenagers are hungry for stories that mirror their lives. Yetstudents also need books that are windows to other worlds. We should not underestimate our students' ability to makeconnections between Odysseus's heroic journey and their own personal odysseys.

THE ENGLAND PATIENT The England football manager, Sven-Gran Eriksson, believes that modern football matches are not won on the

ground, but inside the players' minds. This film examines not just how Eriksson got inside his players' brains, but howhe is now starting a revolution in English football thinking.

Eriksson's plan has two critical elements: to eliminate the harmful effects of the fear of failure from the minds of theEngland players, and to encourage them to train mentally as well as physically to reach the highest levels of5performance.

Psychologists from some of Britain's most prestigious universities believe anxiety and the fear of failure can maketop professionals perform like amateurs. Medical surveys show that people use different parts of the brain to performactions which they are learning and those which are instinctive. If the brain goes back to its learning mode, that 89th

minute penalty kick goes right over the bar.10Eriksson has another psychological tactic: as he is not there on the field,he relies on cultural architects: players

whose thinking is so close to their managers that they obey him without even realising they are doing so. The captain,David Beckham, is clearly one of these architects.

Sports psychology cannot predict whether England will win the World Cup. However, it does show that England isgoing into a major competition with an unprecedented degree of psychological preparedness.15

A LIFES AMBITION: TO CROSS THE BORDERUntil recently the main news about immigration in this part of the world focused on the boatloads of Africans

attempting to reach the shores of southern Spain. Lately, however, a new phenomenon has hit the headlines:immigrants have been storming the borders between Morocco and the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melillamassively.

The double three-metre-high barbed-wire fences that divide Spanish and Moroccan territories have not put them5off. Hundreds or even thousands of sub-Saharan Africans camp out in the woods near the border. They choose theirplace and moment carefully according to the position of the Spanish and Moroccan guards, and use their handmadeladders to scale the fences always after dark. If several hundreds attempt to get across, at least a few are bound tosucceed.

These men and women can go nowhere else because they have nothing to eat; they have no job and many have10no family left. Thats why they are going to try it again and again, says the president of a non-profit organization thattries to provide aid for these immigrants.
