...ever doubted Kevin Rudd's grand ambitions. Likewise, nobody ever thought to stop him on the way to the top. The Australian Labor Party's new leader is among the hardest working members of federal Parliament. And he's never met a TV camera or radio microphone he couldn't love. Clever? Let Rudd set you straight, on any topic from Asia to Zion. That he was not a creature of Labor's factions or a pol-bot molded by the unions, did not in the end harm the 49-year-old Queenslander in a below-the-radar quest...
...clear what Rudd can do differently, other than offering a new face to voters. So far, he's stayed close to Labor's anodyne talking points about fairness in the workplace, better health and education services and a cleaner environment. A foreign affairs and trade specialist, Rudd is well traveled and speaks Mandarin. Elected to Parliament in 1998, Rudd came to prominence this past year through his pursuit of the Howard government over wheat exporter AWB's abuse of the Iraqi oil-for-food program.

An increasing number of Americans cannot afford medical insurance, and there is a high percentage of the uninsured among younger, less financially secure people. Since this group tends to have the highest rate of pregnancy, it's possible that premature labor may worsen as America's health-care crisis worsens. I encounter young couples all the time who are prospective parents but have no way of accessing appropriate antenatal care. This makes no sense when 16% of the U.S. gross domestic product is spent on health care...
...rule in Kaohsiung comes with some baggage. Last year migrant Thai workers on a Kaohsiung mass transit project rioted over poor working conditions; a subsequent investigation led to the indictment of DPP city officials and a former presidential aide on charges of accepting bribes. Chen Chu, Taiwan's labor minister at the time, was not linked to the corruption scandal, but she resigned to take responsibility for the treatment of the Thai workers. And the allegations of corruption against those close to the President are causing the DPP even bigger headaches. "The day of the [First Lady's] indictment...
