...testing or seal of approval that might restore consumers' trust. For many products, including toys and children's jewelry, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) sets standards for safety but does not require companies to do testing and doesn't test the toys itself. "No one's asking for proof," says Sue DeRagon, associate director for toys at Specialized Tech Resources, a testing lab in Enfield, Conn...

Twenty years ago, Time's Chief of Correspondents, Dick Duncan, offered a case of fine Bordeaux to the first correspondent who filed a legitimate story from Diego Garcia. The equivalent in 2007 media dollars is probably a box of Chablis, but in any case I wanted evidence...
