Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

It was nice, we thought, to see content getting much better at DSE this last week.

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

There may well be lies, damned lies and statistics but both Mark Twain and Benjamin Disraeli obviously never met any modern day event organisers.

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

This is one of those bits of news that we wish we’d been told about a week ago rather than just learning about it at the last minute – in this case on the Friday afternoon just before the Oscars.
