...Latham worked hard and well during the campaign to sketch a better picture of who he was, but up against a 30-year heavyweight like Howard, his brief relationship with the electorate remained a crucial issue to the end. Some believed Latham's inexperience was not a problem. "He has a lot to learn, but who doesn't?" said 75-year-old Margaret Nicol outside a bakery in Caboolture, part of the marginal Queensland seat of Longman. For one 79-year-old in a shopping center in the marginal Melbourne seat of Deakin, Medicare Gold was enough to assuage...

"The majority of countries in Europe want a strong E.U. that doesn't compete with the U.S.," says Gustavo de Arístegui...
...country's flag at the opening ceremony in Athens. Though other Japanese wrestlers Saori Yoshida (who has never lost an international competition) and sisters Chiharu and Kaori Icho are all expected to bring home gold, most Japanese eyes will remain on Hamaguchi. Her main rival will be American heavyweight Toccara Montgomery, who handed Hamaguchi a rare defeat in their last meeting. Hamaguchi claims to be keeping things in perspective. "I am the strongest I have ever been in my wrestling life, just in time for the Athens Olympics," she says. "But whether I win or lose, I am still...
