BBC News – Newsnight – Repeating the question: Hague gets Paxman grilling
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/8080379.stm Frannyy posts two clips of Jeremy Paxman grilling waffling and evasive politicians in a manner, known to viewers of today’s pap and piffle “news”, as Old School.

Campbell wins 3rd straight term in B.C.

At the library, instead of a traditional chronological format, he plans to present his presidency through 20 consequential decisions he made… And instead of a full biography, his book will focus on a dozen key moments in his life, […]
CBC News: Reports from abroad: Neil Macdonald
http://www.cbc.ca/news/reportsfromabroad/macdonald/20080325.html More Neil MacDonald – expect a lot of this, as I’ve been trolling through his archive at the CBC.
