...handles 200 weddings a year and arranged the paper work, ceremony, photography, flowers and reception. When Ramsay and Tjalsma were married last month in Certaldo's 12th century governor's palace, the wedding went off without a hitch. It was presided over by a representative of the town's mayor - assisted by a translator. Fewer Europeans are getting married now than a generation ago, but when they do wed, more of them, like Ramsay and Tjalsma, are looking for unusual ways to say I do. It used to be that marrying away from home meant sneaking off to elope...

He's making the right decisions to help the city when the economy starts to grow again, and I think people are going to have a very different view of Mike Bloomberg a year from...
...approach to govern-ment. So it would be hard from my perspective and philosophy to evaluate her performance. For example, I am a very, very big supporter of a reduction in the capital-gains tax and a reduction in taxation to stimulate the economy. I saw it work as mayor of New York City. I reduced the hotel-occupancy tax 30plus percent, and the hotel-occupancy receipts went up 60 percent. Lower federal tax rates mean more dollars in the New York economy because we send a lot more money to Washington than we get back. I think our Senators...
