...said, warning of a "dangerous degree of complacency" among investors. "The weakest link in the global growth chain in 2006 is the most important link, and that is the American consumer," Roach cautioned. If the economy does continue to hum along, it's partly by accident. What's conspicuously absent, the economists agreed, is a constructive dialogue between policymakers in both China and the U.S. that would put the two nations' increasingly interdependent economic relationship on a more balanced footing. Under this scenario, the U.S. would curb consumption and start saving more, while the Chinese - who have been buying hundreds...
Tatsumi's The Push Man collects stories written in 1969, with an eye towards annual volumes that will collect more of this prolific artist's decades-long career.

But absent Palestinian reciprocity, it was a policy of unilateralism. Sharon departed from the Israeli paradigm?historically characterized by capturing a chunk of land and demanding, for its return, negotiations and recognition of Israel as a legitimate state. He called for a viable Arab partner with whom to negotiate. The acceptance of that shift...
...result, freshman Mike Coskren strapped on his pads as Daigneau’s backup. Senior forward Charlie Johnson—who was “banged up,” according to Donato—and sophomore defenseman David MacDonald, who returned Saturday against RPI, were also notably absent. Alex Meintel, who has spent much of the season off the ice due to an ankle injury, played in his third game back and tallied Harvard’s only goal, tipping captain Peter Hafner’s shot past Union netminder Kris Mayotte’s right pad to equalize...
