A note about our friend
PAUL UPHAM HAVING TESTS

Contributing Editor and Buzz columnist Paul Upham, as reported earlier, was in a road accident biking home in Sydney, Australia Sunday night. His mother has told me that Paul is undergoing a CAT scan test and other neurological tests. He was conscious after the accident but remains in the intensive care unit. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paul and his wife Angela and his two children and parents at this time of difficulty.
