...Catholic mayor is also busy burnishing his ties to Christian conservatives. Pat Robertson has said Rudy would make "a good president" and the mayor was a headliner for a fundraising committee supporting former Christian Coalition executive Ralph Reed in his bid to be Georgia's lieutenant governor.

Indeed, while Davos was in full swing on Friday, Mittal Steel made an audacious j18.6 billion bid for Europe's steel champion, Luxembourg-based Arcelor. Naturally, such predictions depend on a huge number of assumptions that could easily be wrong. Both nations could be derailed by geopolitical instability or Western protectionism.
