The main stories in today's Melbourne newspapers:

THE AGE:

Page 1: Australia "saved" the torch relay from being a public relations disaster for
China by minimising the role of the Chinese torch attendants, an Australian Olympic Committee
spokesman said yesterday; TED Baillieu slipped quietly into the azure waters of the Aegean
Sea, fulfilling a long-held pledge and private commemoration of Anzac Day and his maternal
grandfather's war sacrifice.

Page 2: It has been seven years since fans of Tim Winton had the opportunity to get
their teeth into a new novel by the West Australian writer. Now that wait is nearly over.

Page 3: A luxury car was seized yesterday from failed Geelong entrepreneur Graeme Hoy,
as fresh questions emerged over the length of time he was allowed to keep soliciting people's
savings after his company, Chartwell Enterprises, struck trouble.

World: Coming off a convincing win in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton recorded her best
fund-raising day of the campaign.

Finance: Sinosteel, the Beijing metals trading giant, believes its connections with
the Chinese Government should help its hostile, billion-dollar bid for iron ore miner
Midwest Corporation.

Sport: Sucking on a pencil stub one day this week as he mulled over what he would say
in his luncheon address at today's Anzac Day AFL clash at the MCG, Collingwood president
Eddie McGuire dared to think big.
