Select..... from table...... having max date

Question

I'm trying to select the row from a table that has the maximum date. For example, lets say I want the name of the most recently created object in dba_objects. I can do this using a sub-query, but surely there must be an easier way, and querying this way doesn't account for the possibility of two things being created at the exact same time.
I would assume there must be some way of achieving the same result using the HAVING clause, but I can't figure it out right now (it is Monday morning after all).
Any ideas?
SELECT     object_id, object_name, created
FROM     dba_objects
WHERE     created = (
     SELECT     MAX(created)
     FROM     dba_objects)
/

SELECT     max(object_name) keep(dense_rank first order by created desc) ob_name, max(created) created
FROM     user_objects
