...through the years, those with the most impact on news have usually been the world's - and America's - political leaders. Franklin Roosevelt was selected three times; Presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Johnson twice.

"Positions Vacant" columns fill acres of newsprint every day, but Australians note that unemployment is on the rise-from .96% to 1.2% in the past year.
