But after 10 years in which German politics - and the SPD - remained largely in the political center, left-wing economic policies are winning votes again, marking a break with a decade of cautious reformism. That sets a new tone for elections in Hamburg and Bavaria later this year, as well as for federal elections in late 2009.

...deserve public benefit in return.” Yale previously targeted an endowment payout rate of 5.25 percent and Harvard currently aims for 5 percent, but both universities consistently fall short of those goals. “We always aim for 5 percent, but we also have to be cautious,” said Harvard spokesman Joe Wrinn, citing the volatility of endowment growth. Harvard’s payout from its endowment has met its 5 percent goal only once in the last decade, in 2003 when investment returns dipped to 12.5 percent, the lowest rate of the past five...
