Eccentric lead story

August 25th, 2006

Hmmm. What’s in the news today? FDA and the morning-after pill, the UN force for Lebanon, US housing slowdown.
Not a big news day, but still the Financial Times’s front page lead is baffling: “Apple in battery recall over fire fears”.
That’s a lead for the local paper but not within miles of being the kind of global news FT readers expect.
