...Sevenoaks phenomenon is the latest of hundreds of circular patterns that have appeared in the grainfields of southern England and, in lesser numbers, in the fields of 20 other countries during the past 13 years. And it seemed perfect fodder for Delgado, who now makes a career of investigating and writing about the circles.

Complaints about the military's press restrictions and other roadblocks have been fodder for countless articles and TV discussions. Whatever the validity of those complaints, the arguments over the rules of coverage may portray the press as a band of arrogant, self-involved whiners...
