...like many a smart, superficial journalist, News gets its details right while muffing the intangibles that add up to larger truth. The show's ethical dilemmas are genuine but predictable. (Should we report politicians' affairs? Hound grieving widows? Cover African news?)

But there is hunting with hounds either on foot or on horseback in Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Italy. In France, where politicians antagonize rural folk at their peril, there are 440 hound packs - more than in Britain - to hunt everything from deer to foxes to boar; parties, parades and church masses are staged to cheer the hunts on.
