...Look, I know there's a lot of consternation about 527s [groups outside the political parties that can spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections]. I share the same consternation. When I signed that [campaign-finance-reform] bill, I thought we got rid of this kind of stuff--unregulated soft money, billionaires pouring money into a campaign. I can understand why Senator Kerry is upset with us. I wasn't so pleased with the ads that were run about me. And my call is get rid of them...
...researchers could collect a better helping of such ancient stuff, that would go a long way toward explaining how the crude materials that constituted the early solar system developed into the discrete planets that exist today. For 27 months of its three-year mission, Genesis trolled through space beyond the orbit of the moon, gathering solar wind on five 4-in. hexagonal collector plates--each coated with silicon, gold, sapphire or diamond--and then stowing them back inside the body of the spacecraft. What's there could be a cosmic treasure: "A billion billion molecules for us to study," says...
...still as dark and creamy as ever. But little else about Guinness has stayed the same. The company has undergone a radical overhaul of its core brewing operations in recent years. Guinness decided in April to close its northwest London Park Royal brewery, which has been churning out the stuff since 1936.

In Dublin, pumping out an extra 11,000 kegs a day will cost j23 million in equipment...
...British officials dropped plans to prosecute Wodehouse, but the decision was not made public until after his death. He exiled himself to the U.S., where he was viewed with suspicion, and his stories of dukes and butlers were deemed out of touch. "I sometimes wish I wrote that powerful stuff the reviewers like so much, all about incest and homosexualism," he half-joked. Wodehouse lived in near-seclusion in Long Island, New York, with his wife Ethel (their daughter Leonora died in 1944) as he ground out yet more tales of his fantasy world. Increasingly, as modern life coarsened...
...sell an integrated platform to a public that is, at best, merely curious about him and his party. Winning the campaign skirmishes and crafting clever attack lines will not be enough to unseat the incumbent or shift the electorate's inertia. Latham will be forced to talk serious stuff non-stop through the footy finals and school holidays. Even if the experts mark it as superior, it's not clear whether voters will be able to digest the policy detail; Howard certainly won't be vacating the airwaves...
