King of the castle

Article Abstract:

The decision of Edward VIII to abdicate his throne in favor of marrying American divorcee Wallis Simpson, led to the crowing of his younger brother as Britain's King George VI. George VI was the most significant monarch of the century, restoring the monarchy and reminding Australians today that public debate should be about modifying a system nof government without destroying it.

Leading edge

Article Abstract:

Mark Taylor's contribution to Australian cricket will not be reflected by his statistics. His batting average leaves him far behind other cricket greats, and his winning percentage as a captain does not earn him a place in Australia's top 3 captains. Taylor was a great communicator and he inspired his players with his personality, not his statistics.

Cover Story, Recreation, Cricket, Cricket (Sport), Taylor, Mark (American lieutenant governor)
