Press watch :

Business Day's estimable Tim Cohen did a superb job on Friday, 7 January on the notorious arms deal cover-up by Government, the lid of which has been prised open by the courts after massive effort by Richard Young of C212 Systems, a snubbed bidder. What was immensely puzzling was that Business Day's giant stablemate, the Sunday Times, ran not a word on this startling development but did inform us on its front page that one Brad Pitt had split with his girlfriend, someone called Aniston, I think it was.
