...lucky to find Riccardo Rosati and Lidija Markovic at either of their homes, in London or Belgrade. The 35-year-old Italian met his Serbian spouse, 34, in London. Rosati's job as vice president of an American investment fund keeps him on the road, but doesn't demand quite as much traveling as Markovic's role as a consultant specialising in direct foreign investment in the Balkans. Their schedules invariably separate them during the week, but they usually manage three weekends a month together, and last year found time to discuss starting a family. Rosati says his wife...
...keep appointment.” Of the 180,000 visits scheduled with UHS last year, 12,000 were missed or canceled less than 24 hours ahead of time, according to Rosenthal. He estimated that the figure was as high as 15 percent for services in the highest demand, such as dermatology and mental health. Rosenthal would not say how much “dinkas” cost UHS.

But investment cannot grow faster than GDP indefinitely. The second pillar of the recovery has been a rising trade surplus, fueled by strong growth in the U.S. and China and the lowest price-adjusted value of the yen since 1986. That, too, has limits...
...Japan's rapid aging is a daunting challenge to Abe's growth targets. Because Japan was operating far below full capacity in 2002, a big spurt of demand could produce good growth figures for a while as the economy got back to full capacity. The government says full capacity has now been reached, and going forward, sustaining growth will be tougher. The working-age population will fall by around 0.7% during 2005-2010 and 1.1% during 2010-2015.
