...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. That scandal claimed a number of scalps, including the boss of BBC1, Peter Fincham, who resigned on Oct. 5.

Recent scientific studies suggest that pesticides - particularly the notorious endosulfan, which mimics estrogen in its effects on the body - have helped boost breast cancer rates worldwide. Countries that make liberal use of pesticides are now paying the price in rising rates of breast cancer. We need insight into the causes of this insidious disease so we can pressure farmers and governments to mend their ways. Bill Murray, Wellington...
