...Perhaps because these people have celebrated victory three times before, the gathering feels more like a soir?e than a celebration. People mingle among tables decorated with balloons and spring flowers, while those with green guest tags disappear into a private room. A request for quiet during Mark Latham's concession speech elicits a few lonely jeers, and the Opposition leader's words draw little heat. But when they hear at 10:30 p.m. that the Prime Minister is about to arrive, the crowd awakes and a cry of "We want John!" goes...
...parent in his daughter's life? The courts should not be allowed to dictate the amount of time a child spends with a parent. Maybe if the judges and mediators were only allowed to see their children for this allotted time, they would rethink their actions. Name Withheld by Request Detroit Who Owns the Truth?

...help. The U.S. has listened to Canberra, says historian Edwards, on issues like Indonesia's financial crisis and East Timor. And it welcomed the government's decision to send troops to restore order in the Solomon Islands. In August, Foreign Minister Downer visited North Korea at Washington's request to urge the regime to continue talks on its rogue nuclear program. If the U.S. and China ever reached the brink of war over Taiwan, Australia - with its lucrative financial ties with China - would "be doing everything it could to negotiate a settlement," Edwards says. If that failed, it would face...
