...some people, usually women, that there are qualities to be admired in certain celebrated athletes. Watching, say, Lleyton Hewitt, many struggle to see past the scowling and the obnoxious self-exhortations to the traits that lifted a little trier to the peak of tennis. While most Australians preferred Steve Waugh to Hewitt, many couldn't warm to the cricketer, either. Grim and prickly, Waugh eschewed elegance for efficiency and good manners for a competitive edge. To his eternal credit, he took time out from his sport to mingle with India's poor and sick. But his defining knack...

...heard there's been more books written about Mark Latham than him. The boys from Liverpool Rugby Club are going out to the S.C.G. After being dropped, my heart isn't in it: feelings of betrayal and disappointment. I can't change a system that's sick. Steve Waugh came out and said Australia could win without me. Well, who got us back in the series? Tugger was dead to me after he said that. He's from Bankstown. Votes Liberal. Not a real Westie...

...offices of Burma Airways, as in every other office, there are no typewriters, let alone computer terminals, just bulky Dickensian ledgers thick with dust.
