...difficulties faced by the peace process are exemplified by the boycott of the cabinet's first meeting by two of its 12 ministers. These two, as members of the hardcore Protestant Democratic Unionist Party, have agreed to serve as ministers of the cabinet, but never want to be in the same room as Sinn Fein's two representative ministers...

And that was not the first problem they have had. "We have a computer that has confused twins, but to my knowledge we have never done the wrong decision. But if we have some terrible mistake, it will come from the computer," Lewis warns. The office takes a variety of precautions against computer errors. Each applicant has a personal folder with interview reports and other more traditional forms of information, and after the committee makes...
