The prize quiz

Set by David Aaronovitch
Tuesday April 19, 2005
The Guardian

David Aaronovitch is a former president of the NUS, a former BBC executive, a former writer on the Independent and now writes for the Guardian and the Observer. His popular stance on the war on Iraq has attracted comment from figures as ideologically diverse as John Pilger, Tariq Ali, George Galloway and Justin Raimondo. David is writing a book on conspiracy theories, but is taking a suspiciously long time about it.
