It's too early to tell how Labor will play the election, but Beazley and his colleagues have been road-testing their ripest ideas.

Few Americans...

Emerson, as usual, put it best when he praised Eliot for resisting the one-size-fits-all policy: “there is always the temptation in large schools to omit the endless task of meeting the wants of each single mind…to expedite…to do for masses what cannot be done for masses, what must be done reverently, one by one?...
