He was a flinty Minister of Labour under Robert Muldoon and Prime Ministerfrom 1990 to 1997. As ambassador to Washington, he helped create warmerrelations with the United States. In recent years, he has chaired boards, served asthe chancellor of the University of Waikato and marked more than a half-century ofmarriage to Joan, with whom he has nine children.Never given to orthodoxies, yet staunchly National in his politics, in his still-energeticeighties he remains an impressively brisk progressive thinker.For six months he regularly sat down on Fridays with the writer David Cohento reflect on his life and times, our nation and world. Fridays with Jim reveals aquintessential man of the old New Zealand who is fully in sync with the new NewZealand, and with plenty of ideas about where it's all heading.
