Not sure if this whole article will open for everyone. It may be reported elsewhere.

Also in today's edition of the Times - adapt or face ruin -

Have I missed the AS's report of this?

Mmmmm - not sure, sorry. I just read it in the Times online this morning. The article is reporting a Times investigation.

Thanks. I just wondered if there was something on here I had missed. Doesn't sound very encouraging does it!

It's a sobering read, Izzy.

It is indeed. Bill was on a early trial of a drug and the trial was pulled due to the results not being good. I'm pretty sure that was the drug they mentioned as they decided the results in people with early stages Alzheimers was more promising. I think that was then pulled.

There's not much new in the article that wasn't widely published last November.
