Resignation

He actually said "prostrate condition." I suppose he meant "prostate" but I'm not sure about the ethics of falsifying the record in this way. Adam 05:07, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Anderson's Rough Childhood

Hi there, i just like to point out that maybe more words could be added to John Anderson's profile as a youngster. The Australian newspaper had jus brought up sad news about his childhood. His mom died when he was 3 and he accidentally killed his sister at 14, when he mishit a cricket ball and hit her on the head. For reference, www.theaustralian.com 24 June 2005, "Forever the reluctant leader" thanx
