Witness to an Execution
Walter James Bolton was the last New Zealander put to death in 1957
for poisoning his wife. Capital punishment was abolished four years
later. While many of us can imagine what an execution by hanging is
like, Ron Taylor is a man who knows. As a young crime reporter for
the New Zealand Herald, Ron was a witness at three executions in
1955, all at Auckland Prison, what's now known as Mount Eden
Prison. Ron is now 72 and retired, yet he vividly recalls the
experience. He spoke with Bryan Seymour, beginning with the first
execution he attended, that of 27 year old Frederick Foster.

Drab to Fab
Have you got clothes in your wardrobe you've never worn?
Or worn just once or twice? Maybe your wardrobe is jam-packed but
still you have nothing to wear? Do you hate shopping for clothes?
Do you stock up at at sales because you can't resist a bargain?
Most of us answer yes to at least one of the above, so Jendy Harper
went to meet a personal shopper. They are stylists who tag along
with you to the shops, advising what to buy and what to leave.
Chryssie Russell
is one such person. She
believes every New Zealander has their own unique style, but many
of us just need help to find it.

In a cutting-edge piece of investigative journalism, Hugh Sundae
went in search of the people, the places, and most importantly, the
caravans, that have been a rite of passage for holidaying Kiwis for
generations.
