Fans live in the past. Their loyalty is built on stats and mental snapshots of games from decades before. They know, if only through oral tradition, that St. Louis won the 1946 World Series because of Boston shortstop Johnny Pesky's late throw to the plate and that in 1967 three wins by the Cards' magnificent pitcher Bob Gibson trumped the awesome batting of that sainted Sox Carl Yastrzemski.

But some credit for the Red Sox miracle has to go to the Yankees--who, after building a three- game lead, forgot how to play Yankee baseball.

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...
