What are animals put on earth for?

A gentleman but not a scholar
Conventional wisdom
Fickle crushes and volatile markets
Charles Schulz: a great and good man
Fuelling inflation

Double diplomatic turmoil
Buying judges and acquiring a patron saint
A brief joust and tumble with Sir Galahad
A national figure of charm and pity

APRIL 2000

The most significant event of recent times
Never-failing, ever-soaring, high-flying, hi-techs
The year of the census
Cycle of boom and bust

A sordid struggle
The outrageous David Merrick
The China bill and other kickshaws
Historic turning points
A giant step for womankind

Father, God, undefined
Doing what comes naturally
Trouble with the English language
A vague beast called Big Oil
Just the facts, ma'am

NOVEMBER 2000

DECEMBER 2000

There he goes again
The world's tumult and the price of a barrel of oil
A supreme diarist
Suffocating in an ocean of advertising

The day of judgement
Paralysis by analysis
A legal artichoke
The origin of the continental blow out

It's a nine ring circus and you'll never be bored
Bedazzled and bewildered
An embarrassing relic of authoritarianism
How wrong we've been, from Madison to Roosevelt
