* Bloody news [the graphic/sensational photo on the front page] - At Banglamung, Chonburi, Mr. Worached Malungphan,an 18-year-old, died inside his room. His dead body was naked and his head was covered by a plastic bag tied with rope. The police assume that he played sex online and died after finishing his sexual desire.

* Thaksin sees through the Thammasat University academics. He counters that somebody organized the forum because they are doing a favor for Dr. Anek Laothammatad, the leader of Mahachon party. But the organizers are not concerned about the people or the country. Nowadays people must be the center--not political parties.
