May 18, 2006 Sydney Morning Herald THE most influential expatriate Australian, Rupert Murdoch, has suggested John Howard should quit while he's ahead.
Mr Murdoch, 75, who shows no sign of quitting himself, offered the retirement advice just before attending a White House banquet in honour of the Prime Minister, who is 66. Mr Howard was "on top of his form and much better to go out that way, than like Margaret Thatcher, or losing an election", he said. Mr Murdoch's words come days after a columnist on one of his newspapers suggested Mr Howard was preparing to make an "elegant" departure by year's end. The media tycoon's words drew no objection from the man most likely, Peter Costello. |

Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, May 18, 2006; Page A01 John Allen Muhammad strides into the Montgomery County courtroom looking every bit the lawyer. Gone is the orange jumpsuit he wore in Virginia when he was sentenced to death. Gone, too, is the hair that towered over him as he prepared for trial in Maryland.
He now wears suits and ties. He carries with him a stack of legal papers, shuffling them purposefully at the defense table. He speaks the language of law, begging the "court's indulgence" and asking that a "continuous objection" be noted for the record. |
