...does cross that sacred boundary line of decency, one potential remedy is to shoot the names right back at him. But they must be properly chosen so as to peeve him sufficiently. If he is the bookish type, try calling him “Hunk” or perhaps “Tarzan.” If he prides himself on his gruff and buff exterior, try “Twinkle Toes...
...precedents tend to involve either topless women or dreary, behind-the-mike camera shots. "When beloved radio personalities make the jump to TV," says IRA GLASS, the beloved-by-the-bookish host of public radio's This American Life, "it's a nightmare."

He's diligent, serious and bookish - and a seeker of political tutors. His Labor contemporaries never doubted he'd attain the leadership; some of them, however, were surprised by how quickly he got there, how cleverly he played Caucus, the Parliament and the Canberra press gallery to capture public attention. "Who the hell is Mark Latham?" says a senior...
