...might be crafting a game plan to outwit a Canberra bureaucrat or thinking of a way to motivate a juvenile criminal offender; he might be trying to understand the power structure in a small town or finessing a schmooze assault on a CEO target. This social entrepreneur finds the wee, small hours a bountiful period for clarifying ideas about his self-appointed mission: to get Aboriginal people into jobs, and to keep them there.

...baseball town that has endured 88 Octobers of sunken hopes since its last World Series trophy, October 26 was finally a night fans want to remember. On downtown blocks that usually go dark by 11 p.m., skyscraper lights burned into the wee hours with "Go Sox" signs flashing in their windows. On Michigan Avenue, the city's main drag, cars full of whooping, face-painted fans slowed traffic to a crawl.
