Maybe they were all too accustomed to thinking they can get something for nothing, only to find out that you have to sign up for seven months of Physicist's Weekly in order to get a free gift. Maybe their experience had told them that we were just...

Reporters who hide in bushes smell to us of sleaze; we hope that in the future such callow tactics will not be repeated, and that newspapers will take time to make sure that their stories are accurate before publishing...
