TODAY’S TOP SCOOPS------------
Hard News Is Here!
- GOOD DAY MEDIAPHILES ... it's daft, really, the Worm - an electronic mood meter driven by 100 flakes who haven't
worked out how they're voting yet. The usual swinging-voter lollies - crime, immigration and the Treaty - inevitably hit
the hot button. Or, rather, hot knob. See... HARD NEWS 19/07/02 - And the Rain Stopped ... [1]
Cross-Party Non-judgemental Dancefloor Support
- 'How's the dancing going Nandor? Are dancing Greens the new dancing Cossacks?' 'At least we do dance" he tells me. 'I
like loose non-judgemental dance floors' says Labour’s Tim Barnett. See... Terry York Election 2002: Dancing Into The Future [1]
Corn Wars: Scientists’ Battle Rages On
- Russell Poulter has answered all of three of my specific questions (generally suggesting that we could get closer to
a resolution of Corngate by the release of further documents) with the retort “I am assured by Novartis that no such
report exists”. See... Peter Wills Replies To Russell Poulter [1] EARLIER: - Poulter - Dr Russell Poulter - Re: Corn Wars [2] - Wills - Industry may be holding proof of contamination [3]
Perigo Has Had Enough!
- It's been a while. Sorry about that. Something came along called a general election. We haven't had it yet, but *I*
have had it. See... Lindsay Perigo: 'I've Had it ... Up to Here!' [1]
Satire: Security Service Accidentally Classifies Itself A Threat To National Security

Harvard’s Insider Eisenson Enters The Harken Energy Frame
- WASHINGTON - As a congressional candidate in the Texas oil patch in the late 1970s, the last thing George W. Bush
wanted to mention to the rural electorate was his postgraduate degree from Harvard. But when Bush later was involved in
struggling Harken Energy Corp., Harvard Management Co. poured a total of $30 million into Harken, keeping it afloat and
helping sustain Bush's career. See... UQ Wire: Harvard’s Millions Poured Into Harken [1]

Labour And CTU Put The Pincer Manoeuvre On Peters

First Leader Leader Winston Peters says. See... Labour Turns Guns On New Zealand First [1] MORE: - CTU - NZ First’s Actions Speak Louder Than Words [2]
Tube Talk: The Man With The Oboe Voice
- Like his immovable Ken Doll hairdo, John Campbell’s career seems to defy the laws of gravity. As chief anchor of TV3
News, he defies the norms of other newsreader sock puppets by actually attempting to do political commentary. See... Tube Talk: John Campbell’s Angry Inch [1]
AA Accommodates Disfigured Guest House Owner
