Wow, it's like watching volleyball champs in action: First Margaret sets up the ball (finding the incorrect LA times story), then Brian spikes it across the net (sets the reporter straight in no uncertain terms). I can not resist posting this pun:

FYI The revision below is on LA web site but the wrong info on HPV is still in the accompanying story -

Rectal cancer: An article in Monday's Section A on rising rates of rectal cancer in people younger than 40 said that human papillomavirus generally causes adenocarcinomas and that rectal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. In fact, HPV causes squamous cell carcinomas, and most rectal cancers are adenocarcinomas. �[/quote]
