Luckily, all four of us had a few things in common. We hated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and had no idea that The Reader wasn't a children's magazine. We also thought Jackman shouldn't tell any jokes and should instead open with a big musical number that references the recession. But every good concept we had we immediately killed because it reminded us of Billy Crystal. You would think that would be a good thing, since Crystal was the most beloved Oscar host ever and got the job eight times. But comedy writers are far more...
Influencing a $19 trillion market that is coming off one of history's great asset bubbles is a lot harder than it looks. In December, houses sold for 15% less than they did a year earlier. No act of Congress could change that. Says Wellesley College economist Karl Case: "Let's not delude ourselves into thinking we're driving a speedboat when we're driving a tanker...
...painful reckoning was inevitable. And so now, while retailers and a few economists still make the case that more consumer spending would be a really great thing, our nation's political leaders have concluded that it's too soon to issue calls for more shopping.

And I've said to my oncologist colleagues, Why is that not a miracle? What evidence do you have, because you have no evidence that this is delayed effect--it's just what you're calling it. Tell me that that's not a miracle...
...Tyler O. H. Winklevoss, ’04, and Divya K. Narendra ’04, filed a lawsuit against Facebook alleging that Zuckerberg used their code to create his now well-recognized social networking Web site. He had worked for them as an undergraduate. The firms settled the case last April, intending to keep the figure confidential. In June, the Winklevoss brothers and Narendra appealed to a San Jose district judge, stating that they were mislead into accepting stocks worth less than Facebook purported. In a move characteristic of the secrecy surrounding the settlement, Judge James S. Ware asked...
