"This would show that they have an intact, happy family and that, except for the absence of a legal ceremony, they are like any other couple," he says.

...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...

Australia's Treasurer Peter Costello is chopping at tax rates with the glee of a burly bloke in a blue singlet. 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...
