Obscure agendas
Oversold, under-defended
Hit-and-run, again

Here is another one, about the late Prof Doll and the Nordic Leukemia
study, Darby et al 1993:

Hakulinen sees
fallout brings disease
later, Doll cooks the data

It's from my book, Wolves of Water 2007
Timo Hakulinen is the head of the Finland cancer registry in Helsinki

Yes, instructive. 
In England, leukemia is three syllables: Loo--keem--ya.
Cant say how you do it in America. 
5,5,7 is normal I think.
Just shows you have to be careful.

Instructive.  

While there are a number of forms that someone or another describe as
haiku, by a fair margin the consensus is that it follows a 5-7-5
syllable count (in English, at any rate.  Other languages, other
conventions).  I have never encountered a 5-5-8 format before as "haiku"
(leukemia has four syllables).

Poetry or statistics
The details matter

True haiku very hard

Haiku is easy
But sometimes doesn't make sense
