Peter Thomson kept quiet-mostly because he had never felt better in his life. For four years, he had been plagued by chronic hay fever...
...Reporters should ask themselves, 'What is he giving me this for?' and decide along with their editors, 'Do we want to go along with this?' There is always the wastebasket.
