Synopsis

As editor of The Sunday Times for fourteen years, Sir Harold Evans proved to be the right man in the right place at the right time. In an investigative climate all too rare by today's standards, Evans had the freedom and resources to allow teams of journalists to work on long-term projects, including the exposure of Kim Philby as a Soviet spy. Evans' longest and most hard fought campaign was for the victims of Thalidomide. Originally developed by the Germans in World War II to counter effect sarin gas, post-war the drug was blithely prescribed by British doctors as an antidote to morning sickness, unwittingly leading to tens of thousands of children being born with serious defects. The Sunday Times' fight to win compensation for their struggling families would take more than a decade, as Evans tenaciously pursued the drug companies through the English courts and beyond.

Synopsis

In a pre-doping cycling era, years before the emergence of Lance Armstrong, the American Greg LeMond was recruited as a teenager to the French Renault team, where he developed a close friendship with Bernard "The Badger" Hinault. They traveled the world together, but their camaraderie was soon to turn to enmity. In "an individual sport practiced by teams", LeMond was forced to play loyal lieutenant to the leader Hinault in 1985, despite being the more capable rider that summer. Hinault promised to repay him the following year – his brazen retraction of that promise still astonishes LeMond and his wife nearly thirty years on. Speaking to all the major players, where emotions still run high, 'Slaying the Badger' dissects the fascinating complexities of professional cycling.
