Austrian Official's Smooch Causes A Stir


Austria's finance minister is 36 and unmarried, but when he was caught kissing crystal heiress Fiona Swarovski at a Paris airport, it became headline news — in part because he was engaged to his former intern at the time.

Karl-Heinz Grasser sued the magazine News, which published photos of The Kiss, in a case that has many in this country of 8 million wondering whether politics may have begun to devolve into American-style mini-scandals that stress style over substance.
