The long and short of it.

I can't resist passing on a quote from my daily paper. Commenting on the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes wedding, where Cruise appears to have grown - or Holmes shrunk - by a few inches for the photographs, the paper asks what's wrong with short men, and goes on to list several "vertically challenged" men who have none-the-less had no problems in attracting women - Mussolini, Mickey Rooney, Dustin Hoffman and Napoleon, to name but a few. So it concludes that height doesn't matter, and ends with the immortal words "It is better to have loved a short man, than not to have loved a tall". Nice one.
