...promise. High fees overwhelm excellent returns in Chile. Shady claims about returns plagued Britain's scheme. Singapore's plan leaves many asset-rich and cash-poor. Even Sweden, with its relatively sound system, is considering changes to encourage greater active participation in private accounts. Overall, the experience abroad seems to serve up this lesson: no one gets it right on the first try. --By Jyoti Thottam...
...helping put some of the shine back on Kodak's prospects, but its hometown, Rochester, is hurting. It has borne the brunt of the company's downsizing, as Carp has sought cheaper manufacturing abroad. Most of the company's digital cameras are now made in China. In Rochester's northwest, the 2,200-acre Kodak Park, once the hub of Kodak's industrial operations, is full of vacant lots and demolished buildings. At its peak in 1982, the firm--once called the Great Yellow Father--employed more than 60,000 people in the city and had long been famous...
...they worship is a bronze sculpture, frozen in time. The real F.D.R. was a gutsy innovator. The current Democrats resemble nothing so much as the Republicans during the 25 years after Roosevelt's death-negative, defensive, intellectually feeble, a permanent minority.

No doubt, neither Bill Clinton nor Al Gore would have invaded Iraq unilaterally or lowered taxes on the rich, but this wasn't a speech about that.

Clinton was moving, before Monica Lewinsky derailed him, toward significant changes in Social Security and Medicare-especially Medicare, for which he was ready to support a market-oriented approach but retreated at the behest of congressional liberals who supported him during the impeachment fiasco. Clinton...
...talk of a shortage. Frank Bubb Boca Raton, Florida, U.S. A person would have to be nuts to join any branch of the U.S. military now. The National Guard and Army Reserve were supposed to be ready reserve troops, not an invading and occupying military force spreading U.S. aggression abroad. If confidence is to be restored in the U.S. military, our forces must be used for the defense of this country, not for the personal goals of the President. U.S. troops belong on U.S. soil, not stationed in 135 different countries. There is no justification for U.S. soldiers serving...
