John,

One for the collection. In today's Sunday Herald there is a short piece on Turing.  The findings of the inquest into his death - that he took his own life via cyanide in an apple - are now being questioned.  Apparently he used cyanide in his laboratory for "amateur experiments", and the cyanide in his body was likely to have been inhaled.

Another piece in the paper on the Sumatran rhino has a headline that took my fancy - "Rhinos become slightly less rare".

Hugh.
