...Remarkably, Fingleton, a raconteur of Irish stock, found fault not only with Bradman the man but with Bradman the cricketer - quite a feat considering The Don's record, which marks him as easily the best ever.

Make copious use of outrage and emotion. Rather than a single, unified message, Schmidt planned a multifaceted attack, which would be stitched together under the banner of "Country First," a phrase that both highlighted McCain's war-hero biography and suggested Obama...
Yuriko Koike is a Japanese politician with an engaging manner, a fine track record as a cabinet minister, a worldly outlook and the sort of fresh approach that Japanese politics so desperately needs. None of that did her much good when she recently ran for the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party - she received just 46 ballots out of a possible 527. Why did she do so badly?
