...paper over the cracks.' They were saying, 'There's not much difference between the two of you, so stop behaving as if there is.'" Bob Worcester, chairman of the polling organization MORI, says this perception is not shared by the public, who see Brown as "a socialist wolf in sheep's clothing." But this is not necessarily an electoral disadvantage: Labour's current 5% lead over the Tories under Blair would increase to 13% if Brown were at the helm, according to a survey by pollsters NOP.

She begins to cry. "Do you want to hold this cute little baby sheep?" Brian asks, waving a stuffed toy before his daughter's beet-red face. Still no sale...
...ease with all this. He obligingly pulls on the robe, cord belt and headdress worn by dozens of predecessor shepherds over years of Christmas pageants here at the First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights, Ill. "Now, what do shepherds do?" asks pageant director Phyllis Green. "They protect their sheep," he says promptly. His older brother Drew, who at 8 has two years more of this particular story under his shepherd's belt, chimes in, "And the angels come...
