...HUPD's substation on Longwood Ave., the morning shift discusses the day. It's a small three-room station, dominated by a fish tank belonging to commanding officer Sergeant Arthur St. Andre. It's peaceful in the tank now, but once a tiny shark ate a couple of other fish. Patrolman James P. Sullivan explains that as soon as the shark got "belligerent," he had to be removed...
...fish, platypus, hunting scenes-have been found in Sydney's sandstone outcrops, mute reminders, some of them 5,000 years old, that progress comes at a price. Modern estimates put as many as 750,000 Aborigines on the Australian continent in 1788; the first governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip, thought some 1,500 lived between Botany Bay to the south and the mouth of the Hawkesbury River to the north.

Voters may put an apparent doofus in the White House yet trust that the presidency...
...difference in 1948 was that the Republican nominee was in doubt, and TIME's reporters had to keep careful track of how each delegate would vote on the first and then subsequent ballots. The early favorite, Michigan Senator Arthur Vandenberg, "seemed determined not to connive" for the nomination, while his opponent, New York Governor Tom Dewey, did a whirlwind whistle-stop tour on the eve of the convention, making 13 speeches in 13 hours. "He headed south with a whoosh, traveling like an over-the-road trucker trying to roll his rig home before morning," TIME reported. California Governor Earl...
