Stages in the quest for truth (verbatim from Guardian... headlines)

Following are different stages in a quest for personal truth, as exemplified from the headlines of the Guardian's most recent (newsletter) edition.  The only changes were in words I left out.

HSBC banker denies fraud charges

Edward Snowden designs phone case to show when data is being monitored

Argentina's disappeared...An Argentinian man learned the man he believed was his father may have killed his real parents during Argentina's 1976-83 dictatorship, part of a campaign of forcibly "disappearing" those who opposed the bloody regime.

He took the name Caine from a poster for the 1954 Humphrey Bogart naval drama The Caine Mutiny.
