Although I have always found his coverage to be very even-headed and fair, Aslett also implies that Novell had nothing to do with Princess Diana’s death, a fact I am not willing to concede just yet. I suppose on that issue, we will just have to agree to disagree ;^ ).
I am glad that this clarification has been pointed out, although I have never been a fan of statistics as an argument, preferring instead to rely on impartial surveys.
