In his first speech to Parliament on Remembrance Day 1998, the member for Griffith began: "Politics is about power." For those listening in the House that day, Rudd spoke about political philosophy, the role of the state, the great policy challenges facing the nation and his personal road to Canberra. About halfway through, he said: "I believe that the nation needs a revolution in its education system." It's the sort of speech you'd expect from someone...

When the world and the people in it don't respond as they should, narcissists are not just enraged but flat-out mystified. Cho's multimedia postmortem package exuded narcissistic exhibitionism, and the words he spoke into the camera left no doubt as to what he believed - or wanted to believe - was his own significance. "Thanks to you," he said in one of his many indictments of his victims, "I die like Jesus Christ...
