Dave:

You've sent out some interestingly different media perspectives on
the present political situation from the two sides of the Atlantic
recently. I wonder how/whether the major US newspapers have covered
the latest news about the WTO - here today's (UK) Guardian newspaper
has a front page article headed "Bush blocks deal allowing cheap
drugs for world's poor".

See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,898527,00.html

However, I should mention that, in contrast, the (London) Times,
which is about as far to the right on the UK political spectrum as
the Guardian is to the left, does not seem to have carried anything
on this story as yet.

cheers

Brian
