SOMETIMES, with a news story, there's an unanswered question that nobody gets to. Sometimes the question isn't even asked, which can be irritating. An example occurred this week, when former cricket star Imran Khan, currently fighting a general election in Pakistan, fell off a forklift doubling as a platform during a campaign rally. Judging from the TV pictures, a fourth man attempted to join Khan and two others on the shaky platform, at least 20ft off the ground, and, grabbing one another for balance, the threesome turned into a human avalanche. Reports said Khan's condition was 'comfortable'. His fall was replayed again and again. He was interviewed in his hospital bed, urging the people to place ideology before personality when casting their votes. 'He is stable, he is conscious and he is recognising people. He is all right,' the hospital director told reporters. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
