...billion - by some stretch the biggest loss in British corporate history. Much of that loss is due to RBS's ill-timed acquisition of Dutch lender ABN Amro in 2007. "Yes, I'm angry at RBS and what happened," Brown conceded. But, he added, "We have to recognize anger is not enough...
...some degree, that's what happened the last time a Democratic President took over. Back in 1993, Bill Clinton - who had said he ended up "loathing the military" while successfully avoiding the draft during the Vietnam War - generated substantial ire among the ranks. Smoldering resentments exploded into anger with his quick unilateral push to let gays serve in uniform. The scars persisted throughout his eight years in office.

Virtually all the town's royalty - except, unaccountably, those two prime party animals, Jack Nicholson and George Clooney- had been...
...Italy, there was a mix of relief and anger. Labor unions, which struck as recently as last Wednesday, have virulently opposed the new consortium, which has trimmed the 20,000 work force by some 3,000, and cut pay and benefits to those employees who remain. Unions say that joining up with Air France is essentially the death knell for the Italian carrier. More labor unrest is expected. But many ordinary Italians will finally be satisfied that an apparently viable solution had been found to avoid more public investment or outright failure of the national carrier...
