- Pope appeals for Christian unity
- Benedict XVI is installed as Pope
- Nikon's photo encryption reported broken

- Gallipoli dead remembered at dawn
- China suffers memory lapses too
- Power lines cast cancer cloud
- Sarah Ulmer wavers on biking future
- Intel gives man $10,000 for old magazine
- DNA Tells Students They Aren't Who They Thought:

- NZ helped with Cold War intelligence says Lange:

As usual, I haven't included any items from Fairfax's Stuff site. And not until they have a reasonable archival policy, anyway.
