Why do you - and all the other papers - insist on saying Peter Mandelson is "running the country"? Is he baking all the bread, driving all the buses, waiting all the tables, treating all the patients....etc? The country does a reasonable job of running itself.

Re "" - this was on the front page of ´óÏó´«Ã½ News today. I am surprised this isn't the headline story across the world - up until now, we have always believed that death was inevitable, that there was a 100% risk of dying.

Re "", I am the mother of a 7 year old boy with Aspergers living in Vancouver Canada. My son is highly intelligent but not a savant and hates maths! A documentary made here in Vancouver titled "The boy Inside" is probably the most important film made to date on living with Aspergers both from the child and their parents' perspectives. It features a boy called Adam who is just about to go to High School (Secondary). This film has been aired on national TV here and is also being shown in classrooms which include teenagers with Aspergers. Maybe the ´óÏó´«Ã½ should air in the UK?
