...value of existing dollars. And a government in truly dire fiscal straits - Germany in the 1920s is the most famous example - may print so much currency that it makes the stuff effectively worthless. Our fiscal straits aren't that dire just yet. But chronic deficits during George W. Bush's Administration, even bigger deficits brought on by the financial crisis and President Obama's efforts to stimulate the economy, plus looming shortfalls related to Social Security and Medicare will add up to economy-straining debts a few years from now - barring major changes in fiscal policy or a huge economic...

The Bush Justice Department sent its U.S. attorneys out hunting for it, but they turned up nothing—a few dozen cases of mistakes and misunderstandings, a few small-time conspiracies in local elections, but no evidence of corruption in federal or state elections.

But that doesn't mean they went away. When U.S. President Barack Obama meets Tuesday with Chinese President Hu Jintao at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, there are several trouble spots between him and his host, and the good relationship could erode if they aren...
...opening; this week it took in $6.1 million at just 174 theaters for a wowie-zowie $35,000 per screen. That's how Paranormal Activity started out. Fervently promoted by Tyler Perry (who brought the movie to his distributor, Lionsgate) and Oprah Winfrey, with a plug from George H.W. Bush, Precious has a chance to be a crossover hit, appealing to African-American audiences, the art-house crowd and Oscar voters...
