  • [For those interested in an expansion of how we use words today, as promised, I have addended the 'Fake News Defined' commentary that opens with a retort to Mr Steven Frisch's most recent contribution to these pages. gjr]

  • ["Policy makers should view the problem from the starting point of today, and resolve to take action on every front.
