WHY DO I YAWN PEOPLE

It’s no coincidence – studies have shown that 40-60 per cent of people who see someone yawning (even on TV) will join in. It’s an act of empathy. A study at the State University of New York found that the people who were immune to the yawn reflex also found it harder to put themselves in someone else’s shoes – they were less emotionally literate. So if you find yourself trapped in a Mexican yawn-wave on the train, it probably means you’re quite a nice person.Continue Reading

Head Ache

The Prime Minister was in a box. On the one hand, he feared his wage-control policy would lose credibility, and be defied on all sides, if he made a massive ex­ception for the miners. On the other hand, it was difficult to see how he could win a show-down. In an ulti­mate crunch, troops could unload foreign coal and move it to the gen­erating stations, but they could not dig coal or generate electricity. And it was clear that the workers in the power stations would support the coal miners, once a strike came. Thus, the Prime Minister would have … Continue Reading

In December 1970

The success­ful tactic of a worker go-slow in power stations revealed new-found union power. The go-slow caused sudden electrical power cuts : with­in eight days the workers won.

Two years later, the teams’ findings have still to be published in full but, despite one major clash of opinion, the mystery of the shroud seems as deep as ever. ‘The one major dissenter among the 36 principal scientists involved was Dr Walter C. McCrone, head of a private firm of chemical analysts based in Chicago.
