...clobber alone demands a double take. In blue sports coat and strides, white slip-ons sans socks, and with a splash of bling around his tanned neck, he looks less like Australia's third longest-serving Prime Minister than a 1970s bookie. Then again, with his lean frame and flowing mane, Bob Hawke also looks terrific for a bloke who'll turn 78 a fortnight after the Nov. 24 election.

I got hit by a hailstorm of flaming embers. They burned my arms, my neck and my legs. By then there were fires everywhere on the street. I couldn't see five feet in front of me. My wife [got into her car] and yelled that she'd meet me at work...
