     1        The Food Commission are said to be yourself and
     2        Dr. Lobstein; is that right?
     3        A.  They are -- we are.
     4
     5   Q.   I was going to ask you whether it was correct.  Then we
     6        see, in the second column, underneath the entry about
     7        Living Earth, underneath the thick black line, that The
     8        Food Magazine is published quarterly by The Food
     9        Commission.  Then we see, beside the square blobs at the
    10        bottom of the page:  "This edition has been edited by Tim
    11        Lobstein and Sue Dibb."  Is that true -- was it?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  Actually, it says it is published by the Soil
    15        Association in the first paragraph, not The Food
    16        Commission.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  Would you read the part, please, Ms. Dibb, which
    19        says The Food magazine is published quarterly by The Food
    20        Commission?
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry.
    23
    24   THE WITNESS:   Yes.  It is a joint magazine, so the magazine
    25        itself is jointly published.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:   Yes, I understand that.  But your contribution
    28        forms part of the quarterly publication?
    29        A.  Yes.
    30
    31   Q.   Would you turn over, please, to page 3, where we find a
    32        leading article:  "Small-fry shake big Mac".  May I call it
    33        a leading article?  It is on the first news page.
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   Who wrote it?
    37        A.  This was written by one of the people who works in our
    38        office.
    39
    40   Q.   Did you edit this article?
         A.  I have seen this article.  I did not work on it,
    42        myself.
    43
    44   Q.   Did Mr. Lobstein work on it?
    45        A.  He might have done, but I would have to check with
    46        him.  I cannot confirm that.
    47
    48   Q.   I ask you to read it yourself, and then tell me when you
    49        have finished reading it. (Pause)
    50 
    51        Would you agree with me that the first part, almost the 
    52        whole of the first two columns of that article, down to the 
    53        first black diamond, purport to be some kind of report of
    54        the proceedings in this case?
    55        A.  I would agree that they report what I imagine is some
    56        of the case.  I cannot say to what extent it may be more
    57        than some of that.
    58
    59   Q.   Who wrote this article?
    60        A.  We have a number of people who come and contribute
