...long-term future of the 85-year-old institution called into question as it lurches from embarrassing revelations about editorial lapses to high-level resignations, job cuts and threatened strikes. Management has apologized for such breaches of trust as falsifying the results of a public vote to name a cat on the children's show Blue Peter (producers rejected the winning entry "Cookie" in favor of "Socks") and showing a trailer for the documentary A Year with the Queen with scenes shown out of sequence to suggest (deceptively) that the monarch had stormed out of a photo session.

Her first came last week when she knocked in a double-overtime score against Dartmouth. Harvard freshman Maggie McVeigh scored the game’s first goal in the 18th minute...
...Sikorski, a former PIS member and Defense Minister, says the Kaczynskis were elected in 2005 because "they reflected the public mood of disgust with the previous regime." They are clearly at pains to project a simple, clean-living image. Jaroslaw, the Prime Minister, lives with his mother and a cat and does not have his own bank account. Lech, who is married with a grown daughter, has said that his ambition as President is merely "to reach the end of my term, in good health." In a devoutly Catholic country, the twins align their policies with those of the Catholic...
