I read an interesting short article on CNN which mentioned how Target in the USA actually has a crime lab similar to CSI, and offers their services free of charge to government agencies who often are not as well equipped. The lab was actually set up to investigate personal injury in stores, theft and the like.

And time magazine has a story about the five rules when covering the Vatican. Laura Bush is in Italy right now, and the reporter made some interesting comments about the clash of cultures. The one that I loved the most was how the press corp was seperated from the presidential motorcade, and took back streets in a move similar to The Italian Job in a bus, and actually beat the presidential motorcade there.

I just looked up a phrase in Wikipedia – Fourth Estate. I had no idea what this actually referred to. The Fourth Estate is actually the Press. The first estate is the Clergy, the second is nobility, and the third is everyone else, obviously meaning that the fourth estate came at a much larter time.
