...tribal elders," says Finlayson, 56, by way of introduction to Paddy Walker - or rather his sculpture, as the shire president and trained nurse greets many of them by name. In mid-afternoon light, the figures seem to materialize and dissolve from the mirage that looms on the lake's horizon. Further around, Finlayson says g'day to the town policeman and the owners of the Caltex roadhouse. But her biggest, bounciest bush greeting is reserved for herself: "That's me," she says. "See the boobs...
...rise, nuggets and quartz lay everywhere," he reportedly said. "The place was literally saturated with the metal." But the town that briefly prospered in his wake (mining had all but ceased by 1910), today seems like another mirage on Lake Ballard. Surveying an otherwise featureless horizon of red earth and mulga scrub from the town's water board, Kath Finlayson says, "There used to be 10,000 people, 13 pubs, two breweries, and houses as far as the eye can see."

...with near cash equivalents, such as ultrashort-bond funds, which returned an average 0.93% over the past year, about double what money-market funds did.

Many of the cultural traditions that make it difficult for the Chinese people and their government to openly address a sexually transmitted disease are too deeply rooted for one man to change. A recent survey by Futures Group Europe and Horizon Research Group revealed that 20% of Chinese still have not heard of AIDS and that only 5% have had an HIV test. Ho is convinced that even if just part of his program is put in place, it will save lives. "If we had known how difficult the process was going...
...shrinking and the leaders are espousing similar goals; Howard has pinched Labor ideas, while Latham has sprung several 180-degree handbrake turns. Howard, elected in March 1996, will be 65 at the end of the month. The P.M. will campaign on his steadiness and record. In an "over the horizon" speech on July 8, Howard rolled out a predictable fourth-term agenda, with an emphasis on national security, a strong economy and traditional values. Howard lamented a "coarsening of the culture," blaming a decline in civility, voyeuristic media and male aggression. Was this an attack on Latham or the infotainment...
