| Herman knows tires : Herman’s Tire Service delivering quality fast ...
How long do you think it should take to change all four tires on your car ? One hour ? Two hours ? Three hours ? Longer ? Ask Herman McGarrah the same question, and he'll tell you 15 minutes. And he's totally serious. And if you question how that can be humanly possible, he'd be more than happy to roll up his sleeves and show you himself - even at age 74. "He can still change two tires to my one," said Rick Hittson, who has worked for Herman's Tire Service on Arkansas Highway 112 in downtown Cave Springs for seven years. "He could whup anyone." To not only remain in business, but to continue to thrive for 50 years, as Herman's Tire Service has, you have to be doing something right. Speed is a gift McGarrah has always had going for him. But he'll tell you there's another ingredient that's key.

In The Valley Of Elah
It's a fictionalised version of the story of Richard Davis, who was murdered with awful brutality near Fort Benning, Georgia, in 2003. Before I amplify my praise, let me raise some doubts about the Hollywood peace train now getting up steam. A lot of films are now questioning the Iraq war - sort of. As usual, they are following American public opinion, rather than leading it. It's true that this is happening more quickly than it did after Vietnam; it's also true that the war in Iraq, depending on your source, is not yet won or lost, so none of these films is really prepared to call it an unjust, immoral or a pointless war - whatever the American opinion polls say. That's hardly surprising but I don't think any film so far has even given a sense that most of the suffering is in Iraq, rather than the US.
Where are our ambassadors?
Oh, but hang on, he did know one thing about us. "I hear Australia has a very good cricket team," the bloke piped up, "but people tell me they are very bad sports!" Are you with me? You can argue that the Herald's Peter Roebuck is right in saying that Matthew Hayden should hang his head in shame for calling Harbhajan Singh an obnoxious weed. And I might have a sneaking sympathy for those who reckon that Jeff Thomson and Tommy Raudonikis are right on the money when they say that Hayden and company should be encouraged to say whatever they like to prevent cricketers from coming across as anaemic blobs. But in the mean time, surely, neither of us can dispute the fact that our international reputation has been sullied. Year after year, season after season, Australian cricketers are making damaging headlines around the world because of the things they say on the field and, lately, to a lesser extent, off it as well.
