An Inclusive Litany

5/29/96

The London Weekly Telegraph reported that John Whitmore, who lives in West Midlands, England, received £23,000 in damages "for the loss of domestic services" after he successfully sued the man who killed his first wife in a drunk-driving accident four years previously. Whitmore believed that his second wife was not equal to his first wife, whose "three-course breakfasts" and other housework he assessed at £23,000.
