...getting crowded in the kitchen, the locus of australian political sloganeering. For most of the year, Labor leader Kim Beazley has been claiming his party's slant and policies are informed by the concerns of middle Australia-not the fripperies of abc Radio National listeners or Sydney's droning talk shops. Beazley's relentless message is that Labor is focused on the "kitchen table" issues that preoccupy families. Such as? Interest rates, petrol prices, schools, job security and Iraq.

Is it when companies cannot easily find the people they want to work at wages and under conditions they offer? If there were a real shortage, reflected concretely, for example, in big increases in wages, surely many U.S. citizens...
...freshman coach.There’s also the daunting winter triathlon—a 7500-meter row on the erg, a 4.2 mile run, and a complete run through Harvard stadium—that is on schedule months before the walk-ons will ever see the fruits of their labor in spring competition.But for some, the conditioning and the constant improvement are incentive enough.“By November, December, I had started feeling really good about crew,” Carpenter says. “We’d been working out for a while...
