...already knew my father was important. He had been president of the Memorial Meadows civic club, commanding a legion of wild-eyed lawn care fanatics and armed elderly. But I never heard of him doing something like this. I wouldn't be surprised if dad puts out cigars on Neil L. Rudenstine's arm or has his carpets shampooed by state representatives.

"It's created a larger, almost seamless economy roughly the size of the U.S. economy." The euro's undervaluation has, in fact, given European exporters a shot in the arm by lowering their prices in overseas markets. Most experts foresee a rise in the euro, perhaps to the $1.10 level, this year, but by then, they say, Europe's consumers will be generating enough demand of their own to power further growth...
