...weird political moment, even by Australia's raucous standards. There was Prime Minister Bob Hawke on national television last week, wiping a tear from his eye and telling his countrymen that yes, he had been unfaithful to Hazel, his wife of 33 years. In a paroxysm of soul baring, he reviewed his boozy past (Hawke was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for beer drinking) and his decision nine years ago to go cold turkey. "It was getting to the stage where, at the end of the day, I was looking forward too much to a drink...
...latest battle of Manassas began in earnest last January when Hazel/ Peterson Co., the largest land developers in northern Virginia, joined Edward DeBartolo, the nation's biggest shopping-center developer, to propose the mall, complete with new highway intersections, commuter parking lots and high- rise office buildings.

Early on, it may be hard to cope with withdrawal. Later, the patient may falter in developing a normal family...
...contact lenses that make blue eyes appear even bluer have been around for several years. Now Wesley-Jessen, a Chicago-based lens manufacturer, has become the first U.S. firm to market a lens that lightens dark eyes, turning them blue, aqua or green. The firm also plans to introduce hazel lenses. Consumers in droves are now snapping up the blobs of soft plastic for about $250 a pair.
