...Another way to make sure every citizen counts? Count them. Literally. Yet some countries don't collect ethnic data in their census and those that do are often behind the curve. Britain introduced a mixed-race category to its census in 2001, only to discover that it was already the country's fastest-growing ethnic minority group. It's illegal to collect data on ethnicity or religion in France, Belgium, Denmark, Italy and Spain, mainly on the grounds that identifying people by their race or faith is, in itself, a form of discrimination.

"When Danny Wooten, his personal assistant, told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet and asked did he want to buy it, Jude didn't even need to think...
...even other book stores. This issue came to a head last week, when a troop of Undergraduate Council (UC) representatives marched into the Coop on a mission. Skipping through the aisles, the small army not-so-inconspicuously jotted down ISBN numbers of books for sale. Their hope was to collect these numbers for Crimsonreading.com, their own Web site that acts as a portal for online booksellers, which often sell textbooks (the same as the Coop’s) at much lower prices.
