LOS ANGELES — Harrison Ford speaks in a measured tone and fiddles with a pen cap as he explains that, for him, making movies isn’t about performances. His characters might be brave like Han Solo, brilliant like Jack Ryan or brash like Indiana Jones — so long as they serve the story.

If only PD James had been on the Chilcot committee.

The British Social Attitudes survey — which asks people about their views on politics and social matters such as crime, drugs and relationships — makes fascinating reading.

As always, remember that these are questions for studying the reading assigned more than for planning the lesson itself. Even then, you are certainly going to find more questions here than you can deal with in one study session, though not, perhaps, more than you can deal with in a week.
