...would be the youngest Japanese Prime Minister in postwar history. His crushing lead in the LDP race?Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki and Foreign Minister Taro Aso, his only opponents, are way behind?means he has been able to run a cautious, purposefully vague campaign, releasing a policy platform that runs to just four pages. "Right now he has the ability to be all things to all people," says Kent Calder, director of the Edwin O. Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies at Johns Hopkins University. "But that will narrow over time." What's certain is that Abe's agenda will...
...have to buy local stocks to do this," he says. A quarter of Procter & Gamble's sales come from emerging markets, for example, and China alone accounts for 14% of revenues at Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto. Buying more-established companies may seem less exotic, but for a cautious investor, it's a way to wade into the shallow end of the emerging-markets pool...

But I would not sell the farm to buy this until it's been replicated...
...that, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his top generals could pay dearly. The once decisive Prime Minister looked dithery last week after twice postponing a major ground offensive. With Israeli tanks revving their engines and more than 20,000 troops advancing into Lebanon, Olmert had good reason to be cautious about a long-lasting ground invasion. By Saturday, the war had cost 131 Israeli lives, 91 of them soldiers. And a major thrust 14 miles north to the Litani river--as envisioned by Halutz and the other generals--could drag on for another six weeks. Hence Olmert's decision last...
