John Anthony Burgess Wilson (1917-93) was an industrious writer. He published over fifty books, thousands of essays and numerous drafts and fragments survive. He predicted many of the struggles and challenges of his own and the following century. His most famous book is A Clockwork Orange (1962), later adapted into a controversial film by Stanley Kubrick. The linguistic innovations of that novel, the strict formal devices used to contain them, and its range of themes are all to be found too in Burgess's poetry, an area of his work where he was at once most free and most experimental. It is his least exposed and most complex and eloquent area of achievement, now revealed at last in all its richness. His flair for words, formal discipline, experimentalism, and fondness for variousness mark every page.

Zunachst gilt es, den Begriff financial covenants" abzugrenzen und rechtsdogmatisch einzuordnen. Im Folgenden werden dann die Verwendungsmoglichkeiten von financial covenants sowie ihre mogliche und typische Ausgestaltung naher beleuchtet. Etwaige Vorteile gegenuber konventionellen Methoden der Kreditsicherung, aber auch Nachteile oder gar Risiken, werden herausgearbeitet. Die Perspektive des Kreditgebers wird hierbei von der des Kreditnehmers differenziert betrachtet. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, das Rechtsinstitut der financial covenants umfassend darzustellen um es zu den herkommlichen (gesetzlichen) Methoden der Kreditsicherung in Vergleich stellen zu konnen. Unter Einbeziehung rechtsokonomischer Uberlegungen ermoglicht dies im Ergebnis eine Aussage daruber, ob (und gegebenenfalls inwieweit) die Verwendung von financial covenants in Deutschland eine zu empfehlende Option darstellen kann.

The impact of the AIDS pandemic on health systems and entire societies in the 1990s will be much more severe than it was in the 1980s; up-to-date information about the disease is now crucial. Yet even though readers are deluged by technical publications and popularizations, no single book tracks, on an annual basis, the evolution of the pandemic, its effects, and the worldwide response. To fill this gap, Jonathan Mann, founding director of the World Health Organization's Global Program on AIDS and currently director of the International AIDS Center at Harvard University, has assembled a team of experts. "AIDS in the world" synthesizes the best possible information, data, and thinking about AIDS into one volume. This book provides a guide to rekindling the worldwide assault on AIDS. To ensure that AIDS and HIV prevalence; mortality rates; links between other infections and HIV; breakthroughs in biomedical, clinical, and behavioural areas; prevention and care; legislation and human rights issues; and economic and demographic aspects. "AIDS in the World 1992" provides a global assessment for where we are now and where we are headed; it spotlights critical issues and highlights communities and countries that may be especially vulnerable to the dissemination of HIV. Publication scheduled before the VIIIth International Conference on AIDS in July 1992, this work should be useful to governments, policymakers, scientists, health care workers, and journalists around the world who will rely on this book to make the crucial decisions of this decade and the next.
