...remains the undefeated champion of the holiday-product Web search. In fact, the top three holiday gift search terms this year are all perennials: "iPod" in the top spot, along with the video game console du jour - this season, the Nintendo "Wii" - and, for the third year in a row, "Ugg boots," a piece of Australian footwear some (okay, I) might consider the ultimate sheepskin fashion faux...
...year ago, few even in his own party believed Rudd, a 50-year-old former diplomat and bureaucrat who has been in Parliament for only nine years, had a hope of overturning the P.M.

Two years ago, Harvard held a 51-49 lead on the road with less than four minutes to play before pulling away for a 70-55 victory. Last year, the Crusaders returned the favor, breaking...
...Jefferson-Jackson dinner, the Illinois Senator is easily distracted, interrupting himself to get a bottle of water for a man with a cough. A few minutes later, he stops in the middle of a riff to pick up an earring dropped by a woman in the front row. And Obama's energy level fluctuates. "He hits the wall in late afternoon before really firing back up," explains Iowa press secretary Tommy Vietor, making a sine curve with his hand.
