- In 1999 Jack Straw, then Britain's home secretary, was attacked for being rude about
an ethnic minority. There were demands for criminal investigations, appeals to various
commissions and public agencies, a fevered debate over whether Mr Straw was racist.
On that occasion, he was accused of demeaning gypsies by saying that people who
masqueraded as travellers seemed to think they had a right to commit crimes. In the
past few weeks Mr. Straw, now leader of the House of Commons, has triggered a
similar response by arguing that the Muslim veil (i.e., the full, face-covering niqab) is
an unhelpful symbol of separateness. This week he won the backing of his boss, Tony
Blair. These episodes are reminders not that Mr. Straw is hostile to minorities (he isn't)
but that any debate in Europe about minority rights soon degenerates into a fight
between self-proclaimed community leaders, public agencies, the police, courts and
the law. It may be hard to reconcile militant Islam with secular Europe. To "trigger a
response" is to.... Initiate a response.

someone" you..... Support them.

- In today's global market place few firms are sheltered from international competition.
Most markets are very competitive. Some are extremely competitive. In a number of
industries supply has grown faster than demand and, as too many firms compete for
too few customers, some markets have become hyper-competitive. Hyper-competition
can be fairly short-lived, but in some sectors it has become the norm. The automobile
industry is a classic example. How do you cut costs by 20%, improve quality and
increase output all at once? It's a pretty tough question, but one that carmakers and
their suppliers have had to answer regularly. In view of market conditions, it is hardly
surprising that the automotive sector has become so competitive. In recent years,
productivity has increased very quickly, but demand has grown quite slowly. This has
resulted in over-capacity. The problem has been worsened by slow growth in markets.
Several car manufacturers have invested in new plants to meet growing demand
abroad. But many vehicle markets have proved rather slow in developing. Early
forecasts, it appears, were a little optimistic. Several new plants have been set up.....
To respond to demand overseas.
forecasts, it appears, were a little optimistic. The phrase "few firms are sheltered"
means...... Not many companies are protected.
forecasts, it appears, were a little optimistic. Productivity has recently.... Soared.

forecasts, it appears, were a little optimistic. A 'tough question' is a....... Difficult one.
forecasts, it appears, were a little optimistic. Hyper-competition can sometimes be....

"Oh Lyn, you can't be serious." Bridget Cooper flicked her auburn hair back in a
careless gesture that distracted every man within a two-table radius, and glanced at
me reprovingly. "You look like death warmed up, you know. The last thing you should
do is take another transatlantic flight." With anybody else, I might have argued that
I'd slept straight through the New York flight two days ago, and that my next business
flight wouldn't be until the twenty-first of January...but with Bridget, I knew, I'd be
wasting my breath. Besides, I'd known her long enough to realise this was simply

imagination that made her books for children instant classic, and a wild nature that
drove the poor directors of my literary agency to distraction. In the four years since I'd
signed her as a client, Bridget's books had earned a fortune for the Simon Holland
Agency, but her unpredictability had caused much tearing of hair among my
colleagues. My favourite of her escapades- the day she'd kicked the BBC presenter-
was now a Simon Holland legend. And I, who had survived four years, and one week's
holiday in France with Bridget, had risen to the status of a martyr. Lyn is one of the few
people who can stand Bridget and cope with her
