...wife confided in any one of my friends, I almost always had to give him up for lost. ... So don't allow the slightest drop of venom into your subconsciousness. It would be such a pity on our fine relations. Surely not that I believed the woman would complain about me outright; it's a matter of indirect influence on the emotions, by which women so often get the better of us. My relations with the boys have frozen up completely again. Following an exceedingly nice Easter excursion, the subsequent days in Zurich brought on a complete chilling...
...Berlin,] 16 February 1917 Dear friend Zangger, Your letter about the condition of my youngest scares me less than you might think. Well-deserved punishment for my having taken the most important step in life so rashly. I begot children with a physically and morally inferior person and cannot complain if they turn out accordingly.

Kiwi workers complain that Costello's counterpart Michael Cullen is being a scrooge on fiscal policy, stacking up Budget surpluses when there's a good case for tax relief. But Cullen has no room to move. A current account deficit heading toward a "Banana republic" rate of 10% of gdp puts enormous pressure...
...safety net is only a matter of good organization. We have more money and more medical know-how than any group at any time, anywhere in the world. Rosa made me realize what a copout I accept; how cowardly it is to throw up hands and and complain about the "system". But don't feel too bad for her. We actually did get her in to have her wrist fixed - for free - eventually. It took a few tricks that I'm not about to reveal. But the fact that we had to go to such questionable lengths to make sure...
