The Big And The Small Of It
TOP SCOOPS
Rosalea Barker: US Hostage Drama
- Keep going down the path! So yells Russell Crowe in the TV trailer for the hostage movie about to open in two days
time, "Proof of Life". The presidential stand-off feels like a hostage drama too with no romantic Meg Ryan-type relief
and little proof of life either in the hostages - the American public - or the cruel captors, who have each come across
on 60 Minutes this week as passionless to a fault. See... Rosalea Barker: Keep Going Down The Path! [1]
Upton On-line
- Today’s issue is devoted in its entirety to some ruminations upton-on-line offered to some Wellington-based
upton-on-line readers at a function hosted by Wellington’s Mayor, Mark Blumsky and sponsored by Sue Wood & Associates. See... Upton-on-line December 8th [1]
Howard’s End: Russia Neutralises Salvation Army Threat
- First it was the closed trial of alleged but now-convicted American spy, Edmond Pope, and now the Salvation Army has
been told by a Moscow City court that it is plotting to overthrow the government because it has the word “Army” in its
name. See... Howard’s End: Russia Shuts Down Sallies’ Threat [1]
Telecom Cellphones Still Off-Air
- Telecom is working to restore mobile phone services to customers on the 025 network, after a software problem caused
outages to many customers this morning. See... Telecom Working To Restore Mobile Phone Services [1]
A Whirlpool Of Closing The Gaps Spin
- "We've had more evidence today that the Government's Closing the Gaps policy is a shambles," National Commerce
spokesperson Lockwood Smith said today. See... Closing the Gaps leaves departments in a spin [1]
Health Bill Finally Passed, To Reform Fatigue Warning

Rolling Stone Interview With President Clinton
- Q Last time I sat down with you here in the White House and a had a long conversation it was just right after Wye,
and you were feeling real good and real happy and really accomplished. And, today, considerably different. How are you
feeling? See... Interview Of The President By Rolling Stone [1]
Defence Chief Comes Out Fighting On ‘Perk Trip’ Accusations
- Inferences made under Parliamentary privilege by New Zealand First spokesperson on defence, Ron Mark, that travel by
service chiefs and their spouses are perk trips are wrong and misleading. See... Re: Attack On Defence Travel Costs [1]
