...order to coordinate the world's stimulus exit. The first steps are slated to be announced by the end of January next year. "If we put on the brakes too quickly we will weaken the economy and the financial system," warned U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, "and the ultimate cost of the crisis will be greater."

...stunning recall of some 1 million Maclaren strollers that were released nationwide from 1999 through November of this year. Maclaren, the 42-year-old British brand, is wildly popular among the young-urban-professional set. The strollers are light, compatible and upscale but not terribly expensive (the recalled models cost from $100 to $360). (See the top 10 product recalls...
...hijacking? A flight-deck catastrophe? After 91 minutes, the pilots resurfaced, saying they'd been absorbed in their laptops, reviewing a new crew schedule.

The Box certainly didn't measure up to recent Diaz openings, even middling ones. But, like Goats, it cost...
...cause "disaster." (A few years later, an overzealous reveler reportedly neglected to tear the pages out of a phone book and instead threw the whole thing out the window; it struck a passerby and knocked him unconscious.) By 1926, New York Stock Exchange officials had grown concerned about the cost of tossing miles of ticker tape out the window any time someone important came to town: they considered buying confetti to distribute to employees but decided against it. In 1932, another irate Times letter writer demanded that lobbing paper be "promptly and strictly banned," to be replaced by tossing flowers...
