...House as soon as possible. Indeed, both men ?- who these days are not-so-laughingly deemed the last two viable leaders in the economic world -? remain convinced, even as the contagion continues to spread, that their bitter-pill regimen is the only way to go, not only to cure today?s ills but to immunize economies against tomorrow?s tremblings. House members, as always, nodded politely, but two moments Wednesday seemed to capture perfectly the persistent understanding gap between economists and politicians. One was when a member asked an exasperated Rubin if IMF funding was an issue that Congress should...

Obuchi's rescue plan envisions a "bridge bank" that would consolidate ailing institutions and protect healthy depositors without causing any outright failures. That means "the government will not cure the most crucial wounds," complains Hiroshi Kumagai, a leading member of the opposition. Kumagai wants to close bleeders like the Long Term Credit Bank, which holds more than $350 billion in international derivatives contracts. Institutions worldwide are party to those contracts, so the bitter medicine of a closing would not be Japan's alone to swallow. Whatever Obuchi does, most...
