Accompanying the Budget are dozens of departmental information kits; the material is produced by public servants. News of tax changes, family payments or recent modifications to Medicare will be disseminated via government advertising campaigns. The federal government spent $A78 million on advertising in 2003, making it the fifth biggest spender in the country (wedged between Nestl? and Harvey Holdings).

Running the country, of course, means placing employment ads, recruiting military personnel and explaining administrative changes.

Howard's incumbency explains in part why Labor has struggled to define itself since 1998. The Opposition has only one-fifth as many ministerial staffers. In costing its programs, it does not have all the information it would like. When Opposition leader Mark Latham blundered on superannuation math, an army of bureaucrats was there to give the Treasurer the correct numbers.

In the 1930s, with a face cream her uncle, a chemist, brewed in his kitchen, ESTEE LAUDER traveled tirelessly to local beauty salons, demonstrating the product on women marooned under hair dryers. In 1948, after dogging the store's president, she was granted counter space at Saks Fifth Avenue. When, in the beginning, her advertising budget was meager, she hatched what is today a promotional mainstay in the industry, the "gift with purchase." In 1953 she introduced the scented bath oil Youth Dew, luring new customers who previously considered fragrance an indulgence for the rich. As the company...
Upwards of 250,000 kids in the U.S. are being raised by gay couples, according to the Urban Institute. The 2000 Census showed that one-third of lesbian households and one-fifth of gay male households have children. This "gayby" boom has given birth to a new niche-within-a-niche travel market. Olivia intends to make its Club Med excursion an annual event and has plans for a deluxe camping trip to Yellowstone National Park this summer. Disney is cooperating with the Family Pride Coalition, an advocacy group, on a special Father's Day weekend event expected to draw...
