New GM refs taken from GMWatch Review no. 402, May 2019

[Cherry Lavell]

Warning, this is the first half only – the second half will follow after a decent but slight interval! Just pick the ones that intrigue you. Take courage, there is some heartening stuff here.... especially the sensible jurors in the California cancer trials.

Best wishes

Cherry
