**Stuart Weir (Cambridge,** [**Democratic Audit**](http://www.democraticaudit.com/?ref=opendemocracy.net)**):** "[LSD article plays tricks on Huhne's mind](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article2702639.ece?ref=opendemocracy.net)" ran the top-page article in yesterday's Sunday Times, drawing attention to an article Huhne had written on drugs while a student at Oxford in the 1970s, alongside a photograph that dubiously claimed to show him "battering down a door", and accompanied by a vicious op-ed cartoon suggesting that Huhne had killed off Ming Campbell's leadership and a very positive profile of Nick Clegg, the rival candidate for the Lib Dem leadership. (The Observer also ran [a kind profile](http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2195776,00.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) of Clegg.) Who is playing tricks here, and why?
