From Louis Slesin, Microwave News:

And one big problem is that there is a lot of spinning
going on. Both sides are doing it — from the Journal
of the National Cancer Institute to the postings by
activists on the Internet.

As we continue to wait for Interphone, one
age-old piece of advice comes to mind:
Caveat Lector!
