DENNIS Lim says "the most disturbing moment" in the Oscar telecast was James Cameron's revelation of a forthcoming director's cut of Titanic ("American Graffiti", 29 March). Well there is one thing at least to be thankful for - there's no chance of a sequel.

SO research has revealed a correlation: teenagers who engage in burglary have high levels of lead pollution in their bodies ("Pollution from lead...", 29 March).
