15. YOUR headline is very misleading

But sources in the City have revealed that he is "seriously considering" a high-profile role with Carlyle - which manages $30billion (£20million) of investments worldwide.

Your headline (which is usbstansially different than the one of the article) implies that Mr. Blair has actually accepted a position at the Carlyle group. Why was it necessary to change the headline?

16. To keep him silent as long as possible.
