...people like us, with a combined 65 years of writing about business, have never seen anything like what's going on. Some of the smartest, savviest people we know - like the folks running the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board - find themselves reacting to problems rather than getting ahead of them.

In the fall of 2007, HUDS completely eliminated trans fats from its menu. Debates about implementing a similar ban in Cambridge have yet to reach...
...because it was never splashed across the front page of the country's newspapers. This has all changed in the last month, as the Administration stepped up Predator missile attacks. And then, after the New York Times ran an article that U.S. forces were officially given the go-ahead to enter Pakistan without prior Pakistani permission, Pakistan had no choice but to react...
