In RG's annual Education report, Danny Sinopoli takes a look at the current market value of a Bachelor of Arts degree for Bermudian students. Once valued as the mark of a classical well-rounded education, the liberal arts degree is in decline as today's sophisticated and competitive job market demands more specialised qualifications. BA's, employers tell Sinopoli, are becoming commonplace and graduates with Master's degrees now have the career edge.

RG also takes a look at dyslexia, arguably among the most misunderstood of learning disabilities, and the work of the Reading Clinic; and reports on the work of 100 Black Men Plus, a group dedicated to providing male students with much-needed leadership and role models in education and business.

On the sports scene, two major international events come to Bermuda next month in the form of golf's Merrill Lynch Shoot-Out Championship at the Mid Ocean Club and the Triathlon World Cup at the Southampton Princess. Both events will be televised worldwide and boast combined prize money of more than $650,000.

RG talks to last year's Merrill Lynch champion and US Open champion, Corey Pavin, and sets the scene for the return of international triathlon to Bermuda after a seven-year hiatus.

This month's issue also includes an interview with British environmental scientist John Paling on managing life's risks, a look at how life has changed for the better for residents of Marsh Folly Road since the closing of the Dump and food writer Joe Gibbons on the simple pleasures of homemade ice cream.

Travel visits the Falklands, Photoshoot features Graeme Outerbridge, ZBM's Jannell Ford answers the I-Spy questionaire and British author Nigel West is guest reviewer for the RG Book Bag.
