...being a little late." I was taking the train down from Alice Springs and was somewhat mystified by their comment. "I don't know why they said that," remarked the train manager in mock surprise. "It only happens about 99% of the time." But comfort rather than speed is the point of the rail trip?most berths on this overnight run cost more than a business-class seat on Qantas.

It would also help speed up the stalled process of judicial appointments. The President has spent weeks on the road campaigning for Republican candidates, breaking fundraising records and helping to net a whopping $190 million for GOP races. Democrats, who've just begun to take advantage of Bill Clinton as a fundraiser, raised $130 million...
