GTG. New enough, long enough, seems neutral. All hook check out, but they are supposed to each have a ref immediately after them in the text. ALT1 is probably the hookiest (the text might mention that 70% did). He "proceeded to sue Kenneth Clarke, then secretary of state for health, for abuse of public office" would be a topical hook if the text had it. Earwig finds nothing.
