It’s a staple of radio and television shows seeking to project a friendly, accessible image. There have been many flip-flops in Australian broad-casting, with perhaps the most spectacular backflips of all being executed by the witty, left-leaning Mike Carlton, who now chats (un)easily with John Laws on Sydney’s 2UE.Australia Council, La Trobe University, National Library of Australia, Holding Redlich, Arts Victori

As a result of articles he and his editor-in-chief, David McNicoll, had written in the Packer-owned The Sunday Telegraph and The Bulletin, the Labor MP Tom Uren had been awarded 30,000 ($60,000) damages, the highest sum ever obtained in an Australian defamation case. In 1963, Reid had scored perhaps his greatest scoop (more of an expos , really) to date, recording the ALP national executive meeting to discuss defence policy while its parliamentary leaders loitered in the street. Now, a year after the publication of the famous '36 faceless men' story that was haunting the ALP, Reid was intent on avoiding his volatile boss.

By playing the role of Steven Seagal rather than a statistician, Blainey gave to his readers an understanding of the activities and mind set of the characters who peopled his corporate histories, the working technology, and the industrialisation of Australia.11 page(s

Ready to embrace change and opportunity, I commenced my pharmacy practice career as a clinical pharmacist in Norfolk, Va., on July 1. Throughout the 4 years I have spent as APhA director of student development, I have grown and changed by leaps and bounds, both personally and professionally. Many of you have played a significant role in shaping my pharmacy career. I have enjoyed every minute working with you-my colleagues, pharmacy students, deans, chapter advisors, and chapter, regional, and national officers. I made the right decision when APhA offered me the position in 1997. It was a perfect fit for me at the time, as I had recently graduated from pharmacy school and was looking for a challenging career in a nontraditional practice setting. APhA provided me many unique opportunities for professional experiences and travel that I would have never experienced elsewhere. As I reflect on 4 years worth of "life lessons," I would like to share some that I believe are more significant for me as a pharmacist. While at APhA, I have learned: © You can do something in an instant that will change you for a lifetime. © Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you have had and what you have learned from them than with how many birthdays you have celebrated. © You should not compare yourself to the best others can do. © Heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. © It takes years to build up trust and credibility and only seconds to destroy it. © You can keep going long after you think you cannot (Student Outreach and Annual Meeting!). © We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. © True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
