...true irony facing Green is that his legacy may very well depend on getting the bank back to where it started. Although HSBC's pretax profits from emerging markets jumped 45% in the first half of 2005, according to Morgan Stanley, some bank analysts believe that Green will have to make even more major acquisitions to keep up that pace, especially in Asia.

Ultimately, the future of Medicare Part D will depend not just on Republicans or Democrats, insurers or drugmakers, pharmacists or health-care experts. It will hinge on the willingness of the millions of people eligible for Medicare to submit to this experiment in free-market health care.

I am surprised that they have not taken into account the speed of global deforestation. Warmer oceans absorb less atmospheric carbon dioxide, so we depend increasingly on the world's remaining vegetation to filter the air for us. Because vegetation is the only means by which carbon dioxide is converted into life-giving oxygen, we need to start seriously thinking more about controlling deforestation. We should establish a massive international reforestation program to reverse global warming...
