Bill Anderson, who has died aged 77, was a journalist who moved from being a medical student to being editor of Scotland's biggest-selling newspaper.
As a young medical student he was not overly enthusiastic about autopsies and could never see the individuals as mere bodies on a slab, preferring to invent, for the rest of the class, fictional accounts of the lives of those with whom they were dealing.
