...floor below a collection of Dutch masters and beyond a perfectly tended rose garden, the Senator from Massachusetts had reason to be worried that the golden-tongued Senator from North Carolina, who had the raw talent that people were saying they had once seen in Bill Clinton, would steal the show.

Ordinary people - nurses, teachers, oil barons - can barely afford to live here. My own apartment is considered a steal, but it seemed less so when a council-tax bill for ?2,546 arrived last week. When I called the council help desk to ask how the council tax differed from the 17.5% Value Added Tax or the 40% income tax, I was told...
