...could be formidable, and few people have contemplated its impact on the way they work, live and play. Already, through various government schemes to limit greenhouse gases and promote renewable energy, the annual cost is approaching $A1 billion, according to the Institute of Public Affairs. Now a "climate change realist," Prime Minister John Howard is nudging Australia into the world of carbon trading. If polluters are required to hold tradable permits (allowing them to emit defined amounts of greenhouse gases), the market will, in theory, put a price on carbon. Over time, emissions trading may lead to an abatement...

...cabinet propped up on bricks-seems as improvised as his career. The son of an administrator and a ceramicist, Gittoes dropped out of law studies and, inspired by the visiting modernist art critic Clement Greenberg, traveled to New York in 1968. He studied with the social-realist painter Joe Delaney, and on returning to Sydney the following year, sought to put Delaney's civic-minded ideals to work in the Yellow House, the now legendary artist-run space Gittoes helped establish in 1970 with Martin Sharp. He would leave after two years, but the Yellow House set the scene...

Fortunately, strong performances from Smith and Newton rescue the movie from its hackneyed plot. Newton’s Linda, a hard-hearted realist frustrated by Gardner’s financial failure and enduring optimism, grounds the film in reality. Her anger seethes just below the surface, and Newton skillfully balances her constant rage with appropriate apathy and exhaustion...

...Bush Administration hoped would be swept away by the democratic tsunami Iraq was supposed to unleash. To embrace the Baker-Hamilton strategy, President Bush would have to abandon some key foreign policy positions to which he has been deeply wedded throughout his presidency. Critics, including much of the Republican "realist" old-guard personified by Baker, would argue that this is simply a matter of acknowledging reality. But the President will find plenty of support from conservative voices, along with those across the spectrum who most fervently back Israel and see Iran as a primary threat, for ignoring the advice...
