     1        will tell me what is in one bundle and what is another,
     2        I do not suppose absolutely page by page, but section by
     3        section presumably.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  If we go to that series, we start off with your
     6        book -- in some ways I would prefer to leave that until
     7        the end.  We will just start off with the book.  It is
     8        No. 1 in the list.  "Food and Health:  The Experts Agree",
     9        would you like to take us through the pages which you want
    10        to refer to and the specific points you would like to
    11        make, because I am not absolutely clear which particular
    12        points you want to make.
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does Mr. Cannon have a copy of the list of
    15        page references which you gave me?
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  He had identified them himself for us.  Do you
    18        have these?  (Handed to the witnesses)
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Borrow that, Mr. Cannon.  At the bottom you
    21        will see the page numbers?
    22        A.  All that has been done here is that in chronological
    23        sequence of the book, not necessarily in a logical order,
    24        passages which are relevant to the points being made on
    25        diet and cancer have been highlighted.  I am not sure we
    26        need to go through them all, quite honestly.  I mean, we
    27        have covered some already.  If you want to go through them
    28        in chronological order, Roman figure V is the page in
    29        which the book's epigraphs are printed.  The relevant one
    30        again is the statement from Sir Richard Doll, also the one
    31        from the Executive Summary of the WHO Report in 1990.  The
    32        one from Sir Richard Doll I have already read.  The one
    33        from the WHO Report is also there to see.  Do you want me
    34        to read it?
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  If Mr. Morris specifically wants you to
    37        read out loud, he should ask you but otherwise I have read
    38        them.
    39
    40   THE WITNESS:  Thank you.  Going further forward, 83 to 87.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   Could you hold on a second?
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  Just one point on the statement by Sir Richard
    45        Doll on that page where he says:  "There is broad
    46        agreement amongst research workers that the type of diet
    47        that is least likely to cause disease is one that provides
    48        a proportion of calories in wholegrain cereals, vegetables
    49        and fruit", etc.  When he says "broad agreement" was that
    50        a general opinion of the time worldwide, this is 1982? 
    51        A.  Yes. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Just for the record -----
    54        A.  And science is an international undertaking.
    55
    56   Q.   I think if we refer to the point but do not read it out,
    57        if you just basically point to it for the transcript, the
    58        second quote asserts that there were established clear
    59        links between dietary factors and the risk of developing
    60        various diseases including -----
