ynical times, in a clamorous new media world of hyperventilating advocacy. And so I always feel obliged to pause and state what, to me and many of you, is obvious. One of my colleagues at our sister paper, the Boston Globe, surveyed a number of editors and reporters within our company a couple of years back in an attempt to identify the essentials that set us apart as serious journalists. At the risk of sounding didactic, I'll list the main points. First: We believe in a journalism of verification rather than assertion, meaning we put a higher premium on accuracy than on speed or sensation. When we report information, we look hard to see if it stands up to scrutiny. Now, of course, newspapers are written and edited by humans. We get things wrong. The history of our craft is tarnished down the centuries by episodes of partisanship, gullibility, and blind ignorance on the part of major news organisations. (My own paper pretty much decided to overlook the Holocaust as it was happening.) And so there is a corollary to this first principle: when we get it wrong, we correct ourselves as quickly and forthrightly as possible. At the Times, we are obsessive about owning up to our mistakes, from the petty to the egregious. Connoisseurs of penitence find the Times a bottomless source of amusement. I offer one collector's item of a correction published a few years back: "An article yesterday about Ivana Trump and her spending habits misstated the number of bras she buys. It is two dozen black, two dozen beige and two

ill employed in 2011, compared with 753,000 in 1993.Some work for social interaction, job satisfaction and to provide structure to their lives. But Ros Altmann, director general of Saga, says many are forced to work for an altogether more worrying reason: they simply don't have enough to live on if they retire. This, she says, "may be especially true for women who may have returned back to work from taking time off and have very little pension provision".Darren Philip, policy director at the National Association of Pension Funds agrees: "Having more older people in the workforce will become the norm. Many are choosing to ease into their retirement for social and financial reasons, and part-time work is a popular option."The problem comes when people want to retire but end up stuck at work because they cannot afford to leave. With half the workforce not saving into a pension, this is going to become a painful reality for millions."The average 50-year-old intends to retire at the age of 61.5 years, having paid off their mortgage at 58.5, according to the insurer MetLife. This is highly unlikely to happen, though: MetLife points out that the same average 50-year-old has ��54,300 saved in their pension funds, less than half the ��122,800 they would need to generate about ��7,000 a year in annuity income. That, in addition to the basic state pension, should just about add up to an annual income of ��14,400 �C the poverty line as defined by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.Even if you are saving hard, the crisis in

kovich was denounced and persecuted, but he also made sure to survive, dedicating much of his work to the cause of the revolution and tardily joining the Communist Party in 1960, having resisted for decades. The claim of the Soviets, their post-Soviet Russian successors and many in the West is that Shostakovich was a believer in the revolution and in the final hour, loyal to the USSR. Not quite that his work is literally party music, but that he could not and did not want to break with the faith or leave the country in the way that Prokofiev, Solzhenitsyn and others did. Against this is pitched a passionate counter-argument by leading musicologists and some of Russia's most illustrious dissidents - that Shostakovich was himself a bitter and brave dissident against communism, whose entire oeuvre was a vast, inner rebellion. One of the principals in the 'dissident' camp, Ian MacDonald, writes: 'The persistent misinterpretation of Shostakovich's music is arguably the most grotesque cultural scandal of our time.' The 'Shostakovich controversy' exploded shortly after the composer's death in 1975, at which time the USSRstill claimed his creative soul and ideo- logical loyalty, for all the friction between Shostakovich and the authorities during his life. But in 1979, a memoir called Testimony appeared, purporting to have been narrated by the dying Shostakovich to an acquaintance, Solomon Volkov. Here, the composer lambasts communism and the totalitarian, anti-Semitic state in which 'a man has no significance'. Wh
