...shortage of flu vaccines sparked consumer panic. U.S. drug company Chiron, which produces almost half the 100 million doses for the U.S., had earlier said it would not be able to deliver any this year after British authorities suspended Chiron's license, saying that the process used in a Liverpool plant didn't meet British standards. Enter France's Aventis Pasteur, Chiron's main rival, which has already distributed more than 33 million of 55 million doses of Fluzone in the U.S. this season. The firm is working to distribute the rest to the neediest cases. But Aventis...
...retorted with its economic record. Into the final weeks of the campaign, whether it was Peter Costello announcing a GST windfall to state governments, advertisements depicting Latham as an "L-plate" financial manager who had left disaster in his wake after a 1990s stint as mayor of Sydney's Liverpool council, or Labor's timetable for submitting its policies for Treasury costing, economic stability was the government's mantra. At its campaign launch in Brisbane's stately City Hall on Sept. 26, before a crowd waving Australian flags, Howard unveiled a childcare rebate and plans for 24 new technical colleges...

...boasting how he would be prime minister one day. Latham has spent his entire adult life making his way up from the grass roots: working as an aide to the retired Whitlam, then in the office of New South Wales Labor Opposition leader Bob Carr (now Premier), as a Liverpool City councillor and, since 1994, as the local M.P. for Werriwa. He's diligent, serious and bookish - and a seeker of political tutors. His Labor contemporaries never doubted he'd attain the leadership; some of them, however, were surprised by how quickly he got there, how cleverly he played Caucus...
...well as promising more services to communities on the edge, Latham expects local people to manage them. He tried that approach when he was mayor of Liverpool, in western Sydney, calling residents' groups "precinct committees"; they quickly ran out of steam. On a national scale, it's a giant leap to think government "can live on the edge of politics" and be radically pragmatic. Is that really what the iconoclast is planning? It's already happening in the suburbs, argues Latham, in schools, child-care centers and sports clubs. Governments should enable outsiders to get on with running things themselves...
