1. 

   Phil Anwyl -- 'friend' to the end

   This is not something that I usually admit to, but I once, many years ago, owned (and wore) a green corduroy suit. PRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 1

2. Little to cheer on Cuba file

   Those who hoped that the arrival in power of Barack Obama and Raul Castro would bring a thaw in the continuing 50-year cold war between the United States and Cuba so far have little to cheer. PRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0

3. It wasn't all humiliation

4. Conviction without conviction

   WHAT’S a kid worth in the halls of justice? Not much it seems if you look at the case of Peggy Doreen Melquist, convicted last week of taking in and pimping out a 14-year-old girl. PRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 1

7. Hey Steve! Bust some moves with western Indians

   PRIME Minister Stephen Harper was in a much different spotlight than the usual last week; he was visiting India and turned up as a guest on a popular dance show. PRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 2

8. The wild side of Washington

   WASHINGTON -- By now you probably have seen the video of the deer that fell into the lion's den at the National Zoo. PRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0

9. A political mess from top to bottom
