...Europe Tightens Its Belt Your story [Feb. 26] noted that statistician Enrico Giovannini is upset that people question official European inflation statistics; he claims that people have some "terrible problems of perception."

Products such as cars, refrigerators and new television sets are out of our reach - we are only hoping that our old ones will last 10 more years. We go to a restaurant once in three months, and this year we have decided...

...murder, the tragedy is a brutal reminder that South Asia's wonderful passion for cricket has an ugly and dangerous flipside. Within hours of their team's defeat last weekend, angry fans in Pakistan demanded that the players and their coach be arrested or worse. In India, meanwhile, fans upset that their team had lost to newcomers Bangladesh burned the players in effigy, and trashed the half-built home of young star Mahendra Singh Dhoni - and their team is still in the tournament...
