...America, the sheer size of the pandemic response has begun to hit home for people like Kevin Sherin, the public-health director in Orlando, Fla. He oversees a school system with about 175,000 students, a county with more than 1 million residents and a tourist industry that cycles through 49 million visitors in a typical year. He says he has eight nurses in the schools and 20 other nurses ready to do immunizations. But if they each spend five minutes per injection, it would take them a month and a half - working 24 hours a day - to deliver...

Unfortunately, Rudd has proven to embody the current zeitgeist in liberal democracy: that of spin and the contrived press conference over any substance or long-term vision. Australians, spoiled by boom times that fiscal discipline and staunch leadership had delivered over the course of the previous decade, treated themselves to a new pair of shoes when electing Rudd back in late 2007. Great marketing in the purest sense...
China's wide-ranging state-secrets law has been used to prosecute economic crimes before, but usually in cases involving people seen as threats to the ruling Communist Party. Turning it on China's foreign partners, Western observers say, could undermine global commerce. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who has made a point of burnishing his country's links to China, said the detention of Hu jeopardizes China's trade relations with his nation and the rest of the world...
