Eight bottles stood in a row, many with slightly tattered labels, the green glass turning inky the deep ruby of the wine. Here in the Harvard Observatory, Senior Lecturer on Astronomy David W. Latham is showing his colleagues and students some burgundies from his personal cellar. Latham, like other confessed oenophiles at Harvard, loves teaching everyone else what the fuss over good wine is all about...
...ends. Somehow, with a mix of clich?s ("Australia has reached a fork in the road") and slogans ("China's quarry and Japan's beach"), Rudd has managed to "cut through"?the dream of political word wranglers. Inevitably, Rudd's success so far has elicited comparisons with former leader Mark Latham, who made local politics interesting in 2004. All of Canberra's political pros have come a long way since then. In any case, it's worth noting that Team Rudd is several notches above the Crazy Lathams and Beazley's Bunch. Rudd, a lifelong striver, is more assured than...
...very close look at Rudd's education policies in the coming months. Of course, if Labor does not cost them properly, or is too cosy with the academics or slipshod about standards, Howard will flay Rudd, just as he demolished Paul Keating, then Beazley, then Simon Crean, then Latham, then Beazley again.

With a new deputy leader, Julia Gillard, 45, Labor's first couple is raw, untried and energetic. But Rudd is in a hurry. Are his colleagues, the media and voters ready for the ride...
...leader in some eyes). Now he's taking that image a step further by appearing more intimate and less self-conscious about addressing what politicians usually regard as softer issues. He's talking freely about family life, for example, about loneliness, stress, uncertainty and love. Beazley is having a Latham moment. One of the things Labor didn't scrub along with Latham is a determination to grapple with slippery "psych" terms like community and social relationships. This continuity has its roots in the writings and advocacy of Tanner, who shared many of Latham's insights and none of his deformities...
