...nonprofits are preparing for winter by paring back on nonessentials, even as they look to expand their base of donors. If the downturn is prolonged, we might see consolidations in the nonprofit sector, just as there have been in the business world. Ultimately, though, Americans will need to depend on the generosity of Americans. And the hopeful surprise is that in past recessions, donations to human services, like feeding the hungry, fell the least; in some downturns, they even rose.

Bad situations will likely worsen with the financial implosion, especially in Latin America and Eastern Europe, where countries depend heavily upon foreign capital. Turbulence will mean compression of capital flows, labor immobility, and restricted access for the exports of developing nations.

...Life on Mars should bring viewers back for a second episode, but the highly praised British original resolved its story in only 16 episodes. Can this American Life avoid becoming ridiculous stretching the story out over dozens of episodes? It will depend on how well it rethinks the closed-ended British story line. In the end, successful foreign-transplant shows are not really "imported"; they immigrate. Eventually, they need to learn a new dialect and new mores. If they succeed - like Archie Bunker and all TV's other Ellis Island inductees - they'll have to find a way to adapt...
