...that still leaves $10 billion from the bailout package to give out, and airline lobbyists clamoring for the cash. Now Washington finds itself in the same position it?s been in for decades with companies (say, Chrysler), industries (say, S&Ls) and even nations (Mexico, Korea, Indonesia, Argentina?). Namely, once you start bailing, how do you stop? How should a government engineer reforms in its beneficiaries to keep from throwing good money after...
...code and government spending. The hope was that his lack of credibility with Wall Street - Rubin came from a long stretch as a Goldman Sachs bigwig - wouldn?t be missed. The occasional gaffes - appearing to talk down the dollar, making fun of day traders, throwing head-fakes over Argentina, and spending the first weeks in office improving worker safety at Treasury even as the first signs of a serious downturn became apparent - drew plenty of head-slaps.

...translations can ruin movies (who wants to see the dubbed version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?).

"I plan to keep on being the same artist, with the same musical language, just in a different spoken language this time...
There are practically no generalizations to be made that hold true across the whole spectrum of art activity in South America. How could there be? The histories of the countries that constitute it are so totally different, especially in the 20th century. What could a country like Argentina, long ruled by a semi-fascist dictator like Peron, intensely conservative in its cultural orientation, have in common with a long-running, more or less liberal democracy like Venezuela's? In the real world there is no unified entity called South America. What this show presents is not some fiction...
