     1   Q.   I was trying to ask whether they were children of people
     2        who worked for the Attorney General.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Was there any member of class the child of
     5        anyone in the Attorney General's department or with any
     6        connection with it?
     7        A.  I believe there was -- I do not know of there being
     8        any and, to my knowledge, at the time it was a fortuitous
     9        circumstance that the school teacher, I believe,
    10        communicated with the office.  We did not know the school
    11        teacher nor, as far as I know, was anyone related to the
    12        school teacher or any of the kids.
    13
    14   MS. STEEL:   Right.  As far as you are aware then, this
    15        complaint was not made at the prompting of the Attorney
    16        General's office in order to get back at McDonald's?
    17        A.  That is correct.
    18
    19   Q.   If you could get the copy of Time Magazine, if you still
    20        have it up there?
    21        A.  I have it.
    22
    23   Q.   Open it at the Advertising Breaks page.
    24        A.  I am there.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The what?
    27
    28   MS. STEEL:   The Advertising Breaks page.  It is page 101.  If
    29        you could also open page 183 of bundle VI A.  Everybody
    30        else will have to keep their finger in the pages.
    31        A.  I have it.
    32
    33   Q.   The last part on the Advertising Breaks page which was
    34        read out was that, "The ads will first appear in the other
    35        consumer magazines in either February or March.  The first
    36        insertion in each book will be a two-page ad. Future
    37        insertions will include the first page only."
    38
    39        When you were asked to look at page 183 there was a
    40        suggestion that the names of adverts that were underlined
    41        were the two page advertisements; looking at that, there
    42        are some magazines that have more than one underlined
    43        name, are there not?
    44        A.  Yes.
    45
    46   Q.   So if the Advertising Breaks page was intended to imply
    47        that the two page advertisements were only going to be run
    48        in the first couple of months of the year, or first three
    49        months of the year, that would be contradicted by page 183
    50        if we assumed that the underlined names were two page 
    51        advertisements, would that be right, because there were 
    52        some in the April column? 
    53        A.  Right.  The Advertising Breaks page says that the ads
    54        will appear in either February or March in two page
    55        versions, as I understand it to read, page 183.  If
    56        underlining means that that ad is a two page ad or if the
    57        failure to underline means that it is a one page ad, or
    58        vice versa, whichever way you read it, if there is any
    59        significance to the underlining as to whether it is one or
    60        two pages, clearly two page ads were scheduled to run in
