...unromantic truth is that last week's vote was as much a rejection of Vajpayee's Hindu nationalist party as any great swing for Sonia. And the problems that led to the party's ouster are set to get worse. India needs at least 75 million jobs over the next seven years just to keep unemployment from rising. The hype over outsourcing notwithstanding, the information-technology sector employs only 800,000 of India's elite. Abroad, India's next leader must handle peace talks with Pakistan.

...only way to prove the point is to keep the jets on the tarmac and see what happens. That's exactly what occurred in 2001, between Sept. 11 and 14, when U.S. air travel was shut down following the terrorist attacks. During that period, the swing between daytime highs and nighttime lows sometimes measured more than twice as much as usual, perhaps owing to a reduction in cirrus clouds that allowed collected solar heat to radiate away.

Labor needed to pick up seven seats to win government - a mere 0.8% swing in the coalition's most vulnerable seats. But those seats did not fall to Labor. Not a single sitting Liberal or National M.P. lost to a Labor candidate. (Two coalition seats fell to Independents; Labor won Ballarat after a popular Liberal retired). For a variety of reasons, Labor also lost a bunch of its own marginal seats - or those that were deemed theirs through redistributions. According to a recent study...
