Hartono's wife dodges hack pack

JAKARTA (JP): Outgoing Minister of Information R. Hartono was among the most sought-after Assembly members yesterday as journalists hounded him for comments on the case surrounding the cover of D&R magazine.

At the end of the afternoon session, when faced by a horde of journalists. Hartono patiently answered most questions.

But after he finished responding to the queries, Hartono himself was the one that had a question: "Where's my wife?"

Usually after the afternoon session Hartono's wife Utari waits patiently, ready to take her husband home.

But on this occasion the wall of reporters prevented her from getting to her husband and she went outside to avoid the crush.

Hartono then lost his way after answering the questions and had to be pointed in the right direction to where Utari was waiting. (pan)
