I'm glad to see that our group has such vast influence on the general
public and publishers in particular.

OJ Simpson's "If I Did It" has now been recalled after many complained
the title was an incomplete conditional sentence and that it required
the subjunctive.

The title has now been changed to "Had I Done It..."

Next week: "Anthony Newley refuses to perform 'Who Can I Turn to?'"
