Professional journalists and Harvard academics debated the media’s ability and responsibility to predict economic trends during a discussion about financial reporting at the Institute of Politics yesterday. In light of the recent subprime mortgage crisis and the dot-com bubble burst, the four panelists shared their perspectives on the role of journalism in shaping the financial behavior of the public. The panel members argued over whether financial crises could be predicted and whether the general population could respond to such information in order to minimize the extent of a potential economic downturn.

His images are at times so vivid and meticulously detailed that reading them is like watching a movie. When I started reading A Wild Sheep Chase, I made a pencil dot in the margin next to every memorable phrase or description. Eventually each page was marked with so many dots that I decided instead to reread the book - which I've done about seven times. His works are like symphonies that one enjoys listening to over and over again. Mel Leyde, Sophiatown...
