...Utada says the Japanese press sometimes focuses too much on the fact that she was born in America. Explains Utada: "I'm a citizen of both countries. I was never that conscious of my nationality growing up." She remembers one incident in middle school when she was asked to declare her nationality for her entry in a school yearbook. "The yearbook staff came to ask me what I wanted to be put down as. I said, 'I don't know. Does nationality refer to what you are racially, or is it where you were born? Or where you grew...
WEITZ: I would hope none of us would say we have a new investment theory now.

But he is becoming very conscious (again) that his father's wildly popular war on Saddam didn't save him from the 1991 recession, and that the longer the 2001 recession lasts - and the longer George W. is seen to be gazing overseas while the home front burns - the fainter voters' memories will...
