TIME AUSTRALIA Editor Jefferson Penberthy is the man who has given the magazine its distinctive mix of Australian energy and traditional TIME quality. Last May, for example, he assigned Queensland Correspondent Frank Robson to find out why a number of Aborigines were dying in prisons and jails under mysterious circumstances.

So his well-honed organization planned to pack the hall and win a straw ballot at the Nov. 7 dinner, just as Jimmy Carter's supporters did twelve years ago. The problem: the Democratic Party has banned all such contests...
