"Made redundant," CBS anchor Katie Couric translated for us, is the British term for "laid-off." Couric personalized the global economic slowdown that the G20 is supposed to fix with a profile of Tina Owen and Mark Puffett, a tearful twosome of the 27,000 British workers who have been redundant since Christmas, when Woolworths, the dime store chain, went out of business. Couric then moved on to London, where 130,000 workers in high finance have become redundant in the past 18 months, to receive a boosterish spin job from Mayor Boris Johnson. "We see a lot of cranes on the horizon," the anchor observed. "Are they motionless cranes?" the mayor asked. "Are you now going to say that they are standing idle?" "I am." "I can see one moving there." "Look at all these though." "Are they? Well, you know, what is the time now? Well, they are probably knocked off." Katie could not help it. Boris made her laugh.
