President Bill Clinton has had many opponents and enemies, most of whom come from the political right wing. Clinton supporters contend that these opponents, throughout the Clinton presidency, systematically have sought to undermine this president with the goal of bringing down his presidency and running him out of office; and that they have sought non‐electoral means to remove him from office, including Travelgate, the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster, the Filegate controversy, and the Monica Lewinsky matter. This bibliography identifies these and other means by presenting citations about these individuals and organizations that have opposed Clinton. The bibliography is divided into five sections: General; “The conspiracy stream of conspiracy commerce”, a White House‐produced “report” presenting its view of a right‐wing conspiracy against the Clinton presidency; Funding; Conservative organizations; and Publishing/media. Many of the annotations note the links among these key players.

This paper proposes that the UKs exit from the EU is unlikely to impact heavily on the lived reality of Roma, given its negligible impact prior to Brexit. The paper sets out a critique of existing EU approaches to anti-Gypsyism that are based in discourses of racism and anti-nomadism and are typified in the EU hate crime agenda. The paper argues for recognition of the systemic social harms caused by discrimination against Roma in the EU and the commonality of their experience with other socially excluded groups that do not conform to the requirements of contemporary neoliberal capitalism. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

The paper comprises an opinion piece that sets out a critical examination of existing literature on policy and research in Romani studies and utilises theoretical work within criminology and social policy.

The paper explains the inability of existing EU approaches to tackle social harms experienced by Roma throughout the EU. In doing so it suggests that the UKs exit from the EU may not have a significant impact on Roma in the UK.

The paper challenges extant discourses and proposes new ways of thinking about anti-Gypsyism.

The intention of this paper is to suggest the use of dBase software for setting up bibliographic files of special or selected collections of library materials. This has resulted from work at Bristol Polytechnic Library.

Argues that the way in which the UK Government, through its various departments and quangos, approaches designed to approve the effectiveness of the small business sector, is based on a flawed understanding of how small businesses actually operate. Argues that this naïve, over‐simplistic understanding of the motivation of those in the small business sector means that many government interventions that are made, are blunt instruments destined to fail, given the limited understanding shown of the complexity of the small business market. Presents evidence from two recent studies amongst small firms; a series of large‐scale qualitative studies undertaken for a blue chip company and a mixed study on the Business Link network. The emphasis is based on – using qualitative research – getting to grips with the emotion, ambiguity and complexity that characterises this market.

ONCE UPON a time there was no need to question the purpose of a good library; it was there as a ‘repository of human knowledge’ and both users and librarians were satisfied with this description and used it to evaluate libraries accordingly.

European Community legislation dealing with food safety and ensuring a high standard of public health protection is discussed. When the trade barriers are removed in 1992, this will increase competition throughout the Community. Clear and co‐ordinated leads will have to be shown by member states towards industry self‐regulation dealing with trade standards and codes of practice. This could be achieved by National forums integrating with a European forum to discuss and implement the various regulations required to deal with food safety and protection.

Examines the utilisation of e‐mail scanning and surveillance technology by the management consulting business in the UK. Uses a questionnaire of UK management consulting firms to determine the uptake and substance of e‐mail policies, and the extent and nature of e‐mail monitoring implementation. Investigates the attitudes of management consulting employees towards e‐mail surveillance in a survey of work colleagues. Also considers e‐mail monitoring issues. Concludes that forms of workplace e‐mail monitoring are becoming more widespread. Awareness of the ramifications for worker privacy is growing, due partly to recent Government legislation. Finds that e‐mail policy adoption rates among management consultancies are comparatively low, as are levels of e‐mail scanning/surveillance software installation. Predicts that maintaining a fair balance between conflicting business and employee interests will be the key to determining the future direction of workplace e‐mail monitoring.

Over the last few years, millions of pounds of private finance have been levered into social rented housing — a sector which not long ago was almost totally state‐controlled or ‐funded. New houses have been built and much‐needed repairs and improvements have been carried out to a stock which stood very little chance of renovation without this injection of private funds. Although much of this investment has been through traditional housing associations, novel forms of social housing ownership have emerged, and this Case Study describes the transfer of more than 4,400 properties from Eastleigh Borough Council to a purpose‐formed housing association. It outlines those areas which may be of interest to NHS and social services planners contemplating a similar route.
