...SASKIA HAVEKES, florist I'd stroll along Bourke Street in Surry Hills to Danks Street, Waterloo, visiting the precinct's many galleries. Then, in Danks Street I'd call in to the Fratelli Fresh Italian produce warehouse, tel: (61-2) 9699 3161, collect a light picnic, and head to Beare Park in Elizabeth Bay. It has a beautiful pond, the gardens always have something lovely in flower, and there are delightful harbor views. Just across the park is Elizabeth Bay House, tel: (61-2) 9356 3022, a restored 19th century mansion that often has quirky exhibitions dealing with Sydney...
...mainland, as the likely first stop. Beijing last year proposed a new program, nicknamed "the through train to the Hong Kong stock exchange," that would allow individual Chinese to buy stock in Hong Kong for the first time. The city is a natural platform for Chinese investment, says Saskia Sassen, a Columbia University professor and a leading expert on global financial networks.

...consider what will work on stage. "You've got to plan the practicalities," he says, "such as how dialogue will work within a set, where an audience will be looking." In Damsels in Distress, the choice of actors' triple roles is a great example of such structural ingenuity. Saskia Butler plays three types of tough women - a teenager determined to survive, a fight-happy commando and a bossy suburban housewife with a vulnerable core...
...kinds of love that can form a home and the lies that family members tell each other, the "salty" nature of adolescent sexuality. Hall deserves commendation for apparently realizing that emerging adolescent awareness of sexuality is not a monolithic experience and for portraying it in Saskia in a way unique to and coherent with her character. Saskia has a homoerotically charged relationship with the beautiful Jane from the first, and discovery of sexuality, both same sex and hetero-sexual, quite clearly mark stops on Saskia's journey toward finding herself.
