THE TIMING and substance of the Government's response to last week's defeat in the Lisbon Treaty referendum have become more clear in its preparation for the European Council in Brussels today and tomorrow.

EIGHTY-SIX per cent of the American people believe the price of gasoline will climb to five bucks a gallon this year, a big shift in public opinion from a year ago when most people felt that oil prices were spiking high and would soon return to normal - which is 35 cents a gallon, same as a pack of smokes - and we'd be able to head west in our big camper vans and motor homes for a nice summer vacation, writes Garrison Keillor
