...unflusterable as Robert Young's Jim Anderson on Father Knows Best, Bentley wore suits that were tailored, not elbow-patched, and treated Kelly's adolescent anxieties with the same dextrous paternalism that made him so convincing in the courtroom. (Somehow the girl had more romantic entanglements than her suave guardian.) Nothing special, yet archetypal, the series wafted into homes on a cloud of geniality; its run ended as discreetly as it had begun...
When Alexander Lebedev, the new Russian owner of Britain's Independent newspaper, visited the offices of the rival Guardian last year, he was asked why he wanted to buy a struggling paper. The Independent sells only around 100,000 copies in the U.K. on a typical weekday, trailing London's four other quality dailies - the Daily Telegraph, Rupert Murdoch's Times of London, the Financial Times and the Guardian - and consistently loses about $15 million a year. Lebedev, whose first experience in London was as a KGB agent in the 1980s, offered a characteristically enigmatic response: "Well, either...

Many stories like Laurie’s are unfortunately not at all fictional. In 2003, The Guardian published a story about a mother who prostituted herself in order to pay for her daughter’s schooling, as well as several other women in similar situations. In 2006, the London Times reported that an estimated one in ten students attending a university knew someone who had at some point "stripped, lapdanced or worked at massage parlours and escort agencies to support themselves." In 2008, ABC reported a rise in the rates of prostitution and drug trafficking among school children...
