If it's opinion you say "I believe Leica will announce the M7 at Photokina 2000". If it's uncorroborated hearsay you might say "strong rumours suggest that Leica will announce the M7 at Photokina 2000". If it's from a source you can't name, you could say "a previously reliable source close to Leica, who did not wish to be named, said that Leica will announce the M7 at Photokina 2000." What you *don't* say, is "The M7 has been announced". David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk
