...sour huff, Michael Gurr's fury radiates white heat. "I've never been angrier," he says. "Our current national government has presided over a time of almost unbelievable moral corruption." Gurr is speaking about toughening up the idea of compassion, his words punching through the chill wind of a bloody-minded Melbourne spring. His conviction is kinetic: he's a man with a steady gaze and fresh legs, impatient to change the temper of the times. What's to be done? We're out in Gurr's Footscray neighborhood, in the city's western suburbs, where the factory whistles were...
...threat from the outside,” Walsh added.Harvard did indeed rain on the parade of the Dartmouth seniors, as the Big Green was forced to put its regular starters in to keep the hope of winning the Ivy League title alive.

As a result, Radcliffe’s lightweight crew also had a disappointing day, coming in 44th with a time of 18.00.97, over a minute behind its rival Tigers?...
...voters remain undecided - an unusually high number for so late in the race. The problem for Perry's opponents is that Texans traditionally vote straight ticket 60% of the time. This year, the entrance of two independents into the race, however, has thrown old political calculations to the wind. "If this was a two-person race, he'd probably be in trouble, but as long as there's a four-person race, Perry wins with unimpressive numbers," says UT's Buchanan. Perry, defying all the negativity, is now talking about running for a third term. If he wins this time...
