Apparently so: It's not a procedure you'd expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she's willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights. I would doubt that Ms Echols was planning to give her fallopian parts much of a workout over the next four years, but, if I follow ...

Here we go with Part Four of our latest audio diversion, and the first of this year's Christmas capers. Our "Christmas crime story", as the publishers bill it, is Mystery in White - a Jefferson Farjeon thriller from the England of 1937 - before grooming gangs and Albanian sex-traffickers and much else. If you want a preview of those coming attractions, see here or here. Thank you for all your kind comments on the early installments of Mr Farjeon's tale.

I do remember very ...

Welcome to Part Two of Mystery in White by Jefferson Farjeon, our latest audio adventure in Tales for Our Time and the first in this season's Christmas capers. Keith Farrell, an English member of The Mark Steyn Club, was so thrilled by the introduction he's not quite ready to advance to the tale itself: Haven't started the actual story yet; the intro is classic Mark and bears listening to again. In tonight's episode of our "Christmas crime story", a quartet of passengers abandon their snowbound train on Christmas Eve - and find themselves plunged into white-out conditions: While crossing a second field the snow began again. Each of the four travellers wondered whether to suggest going back, and each lacked the moral courage to put the ...
