...Catherine Mayer's reference to Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations could usefully include Smith's cynical view of politicians: "that insidious and crafty animal vulgarly called a statesman or politician." Gordon Brown's many soubriquets - Iron Chancellor, Clunking Fist, Prudence Brown, Ditherer and Mr. Bean - suggest why an authoritarian Chancellor makes a poor Prime Minister. Brown's obsession with minutiae is best demonstrated by his Byzantine tax-credit system, which requires taxpayers to complete vexing forms to reclaim the tax that was due to them in the first place. What is frustrating is that he constantly reminds British...
...apparently just 15 years old, but said she was 18; the marriage was annulled. But as Kelly's fame grew, so, too, did word on the street that he liked to prowl suburban shopping malls and even a downtown Chicago McDonald's for young women.

Mayer, Kelly's spokesman, says the singer has been holed up in his suburban Chicago home, recording in a basement studio from 6 p.m. to about 1 a.m., afterwhich he breaks to play basketball in a nearby gym. He's recorded enough songs to release one album a year for the next...
Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) is encouraging students to talk with their mouths full. As part of recent efforts to improve communication with students, HUDS executive director Ted A. Mayer created a blog to serve as a “forum for dialogue” about issues ranging from malfunctioning toasters in Dunster House to the relevance of sustainability at Harvard. In the midst of the March “menu madness,” the blog took off with its first entry on March 8, according to HUDS spokeswoman Crista Martin. Mayer writes all the entries and responds...
