He maketh me to lie down in the gutters. He leadeth me beside the troubled waters. He destroyeth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of wickedness for the effort’s sake. Yea, I shall walk through the valley of poverty and will fear all evil for thou, Heroin, art with me. Thy Needle and capsule try to comfort me. Thou strippest the table of groceries in the presence of my family. Thou robbest my head of reason. My cup of sorrow runneth over. Surely heroin addiction shall stalk me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Damned forever.

He walks alongside a busy stretch of highway in southern New Hampshire every day, roughly at the same time, wearing the exact same clothes. You can tell he’s a gentleman because he wears a faded, outdated tan sports jacket. It’s seen better days, but so has the gentleman. He’s older, balding, and very much on his own. And yet, when you see him, you notice he has a sense of civilized purpose and dignity about him. It’s how and where he walks that gets people’s attention. He doesn’t walk on the grassy berm next to the four-lane highway, he walks right in the gutter on the road, often in the right-hand most lane. If you were a distracted driver and were fiddling with your cell phone or radi...

Mind you, it probably won't be long before they do. The Times is not the paper it was, but I have read it ever since the personal adverts were on the front page. It's become a bit like the lavatory. Where else is there to go?Today, on page three, the Times accuses me of negligence, incompetence and, in American terms, culpable homicide. What have I done? I have ignored the symptoms of women who have ovarian cancer.As I drove into work, I could recall two patients of mine, both now dead, who had ovarian cancer. I pressed a few buttons on the computer. Over the last ten years, I had in fact had three women with ovarian cancer. One I diagnosed myself. She pre...

Compare this with this.This is a new low, even for the Daily Mail. On one level, it is funny. Very funny. But on another, more serious level, it is the most cynical disreputable journalistic behaviour imaginable.

Their meteoric rise has been fuelled, not by their deeply flawed message, but by their skills in media manipulation and their unprincipled pursuit of cheap tabloid headlines.Matthew Elliott, the co-founder and chief executive of the TPA is frank when detailing how the alliance has built up this media profile, doing the work that once would have been done by journalists themselves."What we've tried to do since 2004 is understand how the media works, so we've tried to give news stories to journalists on a plate. Journalists have 101 things to do in their day and don't often have time to read long and dry reports from think-thanks. So we use the Freedom of Information Act an...
