The U.S. does particularly poorly when it comes to macroeconomic gauges: 89th for level of government debt, 107th for savings rate. "It's a real warning sign coming out of the data," says Blanke...

Now Kerik, 52, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly taking bribes from businessmen with possible Mob ties and could face up to 20 years in prison and fines that could top several million dollars.

That’s why they need to tell us they’ve been reading “Crime and Punishment” and watching “Amelie” again. Everyone has heard of Harvard, and this makes a wider range of people want to come.
