...Peter Costello "What counts is where you were when the work was being done." Experience: Treasurer since 1996 Prime Minister John Howard's anointed successor has shown he can wait for the top job - but for how much longer? Praised for piling up budget surpluses and introducing a Goods and Services Tax, Costello is set to be Coalition leader by the next election. Though a witty performer in Parliament, he often seems dour outside it, and is yet to test his popularity with voters as a potential national leader - or map out what kind of P.M. he would...
...mathematician, but the discoveries by the forebears of the craft have done a pretty good job holding up over time. Isaac Newton showed us gravity. Albert Einstein taught us that everything is relative. And Euclid, the most famous mathematician of all, predicted a Harvard victory tomorrow in the 124th edition of The Game.He didn’t explicitly say Yale would lose, but it’s easy to extrapolate from one of his most basic geometrical rules: no physical object can be one-dimensional.And so go the hopes of the Bulldogs, a team that enters The Game riding the legs...

...prove that their Iowa expenditures are money well spent and the time-honored political tradition of "managing expectations." In one five-minute conversation, campaign manager Rick Davis both boasts that McCain has the "third largest organization in the state" and says, only barely joking, "One thing I've done well as campaign manager is driving expectations in Iowa to the floorboards." Another senior adviser issues a reminder of the campaign's brush with death - "This summer you wouldn't have predicted we'd even be having this conversation" - before declaring that McCain could come in "third, maybe even second" once...
...religious media may be more important to Republican presidential wannabes this campaign than in the past. Various religious conservative groups are chasing different agendas so they haven't been trying to unite behind a candidate, which means the candidates must woo them one by one. This could have been done more efficiently when a few shows like Pat Robertson's 700 Club dominated the evangelical remote. But that program has faded and Grady says the Christian TV market is almost as fragmented as the Republican field. The largest network, the Trinity Broadcasting Network, airs several of the more popular Charismatic...
