Brother Kaiser, a snip at 10,000 pounds sterling
Article Abstract:
Media coverage of the red moth orchid grown at McBean's orchid nursery in Cooksbridge, England, has got out of control, according to the nursery's Jim Durrant. He regrets the fact that journalists have emphasized that the orchid's long-term value to the nursery is 10,000 pounds sterling, as this gives people the misleading impression that orchids are expensive. He points out that this orchid is just one of a large number grown at the nursery and that it did not result from an obsession with breeding a red moth orchid.

Not as sweet as she looks
Article Abstract:
Some women choose to exploit the power of the media when they are seeking revenge against a man who they feel has wronged them. In many cases, their initial motivation is simply to air their feelings, but they later realize that they have also managed to inflict pain through their honesty. Some observers believe that it is best to write down extreme feelings but then to wait some time before considering whether they should be published. Others feel that it is best to act on impulse.
