Is it really that hard to glance down the front page, see a thread with "Blair" and "Brooks" in the title, and deduce that it might be worth checking if it's about the same story?

"3. Keep strong and definitely sleeping pills. Need to have clear heads and remember no rash short-term solutions as they only give you long-term headaches.

"4. It will pass. Tough up.

"5. He is available for you, KRM [Rupert Murdoch] and me as an unofficial adviser but needs to be between us. He is sending more notes later."
