...Financial Group, Japan's top lender, tossed a $9-billion lifeline to Morgan Stanley - in exchange for a 21% stake - Mitsubishi UFJ is in need of some help itself.

Less than one week ago, Mitsubishi UFJ downgraded its net profit for the first half of the year to about half of what it was last year at this time. Japan's Nikkei index closed at its lowest level...

Although no comprehensive worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as "warm" or "cold" is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries. To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, the researchers conducted two experiments. The first involved a group of 41 undergraduates who were taken by elevator to a fourth floor room. During the ride, a research assistant who was unaware of the study's hypotheses, handed the test subject either...
