...hear it that matters." It's no surprise to Smith's colleagues that she's won plaudits for dignity and calm. If there's been a criticism of her performance as a Minister (she held important jobs in the Education and Trade Ministries before joining the Cabinet as chief whip), it's that she can be calm to the point of boring. But the former economics teacher from Malvern who grew up in the British midlands and who represents a parliamentary constituency there also managed to avoid the factionalism that divided Labour.

Some employers take the mission so seriously they're telling workers to get well or get lost...
...Archbishop's office is arguably ill-equipped for that challenge. A job sometimes described as "first among equals" now looks more like lion-tamer-minus-whip. Some think Williams should step back and let the rift happen. "No one is up to this, however gifted they may be," says Chris Sugden, executive secretary of the group Anglican Mainstream. Then again, Mainstream is a very conservative group that might prefer an immediate split; and if the Communion disintegrates, it is not Sugden who could be known forever as its last Archbishop of Canterbury.
