I love The Spine. In today's edition, Peretz muses over famous husband-and-wife political couples, starting with Argentina's Kirchners and Perons, moving onto the Bandaranaikes of Sri Lanka, drifting past the Jagans of Guyana, and fiinally coming to rest, well, where else?
Which reminds me of Bill Clinton and Hillary. Husband-to-wife successions do not seem to be happy interludes in the history of nations. But, then, neither Bill nor Hillary is a fascist or a Trotskyite or a Communist.
Well, so far as we know...
