...family struggled back with small enterprises, at one point transforming a waste product generated by Ideal, another nationalized appliance company, into decorative moldings. Sallam's business has been transformed with Egypt's gradual implementation of economic reform, notably since 2004, when Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif took office in a Cabinet that included leading ex-businessmen. Sallam, who retains a 52% stake in the company, credits the government's moves to devalue the Egyptian currency, reduce tariffs and slash corporate taxes with enabling Olympic exports to take...
...Supreme Court has ruled that Presidents have immunity and that cabinet officers have ?qualified immunity,? meaning that they cannot be sued unless, for example, they violated someone?s constitutional rights and had a pretty good idea they were doing so.

"There's a move, even by Cheney, toward the Kissingerian approach of focusing entirely on vital interests," says a presidential adviser...

And the question of just how tightly to turn the economic screws may be one that Japan prefers to decide in consultation with the other key players in the crisis - the U.S., South Korea and China - in the days ahead. At a Wednesday press conference, Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe said the missile test was "a serious problem," but that Japan would explore its options, gather more information and confer with other affected nations before it took further action...
