| Fashion's long tale: one size fits all eight of them
Chief executive Ian Moir, creative director Sophie Holt and a fleet of waiters bearing flutes of champagne welcomed media and VIP customers to a flash tent pitched across the Yarra River's historic Morell Bridge in South Yarra. They introduced a short, sharp show of urban sophisticates on a slick, black catwalk. Boy models thumped along in Doc Martens boots and modern, easy mixes of tailored casuals, knits and lean, straight-leg trousers. Nothing too complicated; just the way the average Country Road bloke has always liked it. The girl models, on the other hand, thundered in and out on patent platform wedges, in neat, chic little tailored dress coats, chunky waffled textured short-sleeved crop and belted long-body cardigan knits before a fancy finale of black matte silk and satin mini dresses.

"Hillary has gone on record saying that NAFTA was a mistake," a woman says. A man adds: "Hillary does have a plan to fix NAFTA. She wants to change it from free trade to fair trade."

He told an audience that rather than lament NAFTA, it was time to come to grips with the changing economy. "Now, I've got to give you a little straight talk, my friends. Some of those manufacturing jobs are not coming back, and you know that and I know that," McCain said.

The 12th Word at A&M
While it is true that his father donated a large sum of money, George Bush never attended Texas A&M. (Even his daughter Jenna attended UT.) And sadly, you seemed to blame your soldiers just because of their association with TAMU. That to me, is ignorance. Before you accuse me of being another conservative Aggie, it's important to know that I've always been liberal in thought and lived in Austin for the majority of my life. But I respect and admire my fellow Aggies too much to allow someone to degrade or insult them. We will always have something that the University of Texas will never have, and that is a sense of pride and family that bonds us together. .
