...picture any which way." The reporter's in Far North Queensland, sent to cover the story of three children who survived a boat capsizing in the Torres Strait by swimming 3 km to an island through dangerous waters. Whittaker's only half-joking when he reminds the reporter how crucial a photo of the island is: "If you can't get a boat there you'll have to swim." The newsdesk gets the photo, and the copy, filed painstakingly by payphone, on time. It's one puzzle piece in a day dictated by deadlines. Whit-taker's soon hurrying...
...goldmine. Shire plans are already underway for a $A175,000 development of the site, making the sculptures more secure, and improving visitor facilities. Meanwhile on a billboard in Perth, a Kalgoorlie promotion features one of the sculptures, with the words: do you want a close encounter?

Kim has never worked outside Korea or, before becoming ceo, even at LG's glitzy Seoul headquarters, known locally as the Twin Towers. He had spent his entire career buried in LG's stuffy bureaucracy at the company's main appliance factory in the industrial city of Changwon. He admits to being more comfortable in the field visiting factory floors...
...political gift to touch the frustrations and aspirations of that small slice of the electorate that is truly up for grabs in a polarized country. While history suggests vice-presidential picks can only nudge the race at the margins, those margins this year look particularly small and crucial, with only 6% of likely voters declaring themselves undecided even at this relatively early date.
