In The Era Of Mobile Phones And Emails, You're No More Out Of The Loop In China Than You Are In Sydney.

No Senior Politician Can Expect To Have Work-life Balance. I'm Afraid There Are Some Jobs For Which Work-life Balance Inevitably Goes Out The Window.

We All Have This Classification Urge - So And So Is Such And Such, That Person Is In That Camp - But Look, Most Sophisticated People Defy Stereotype.
