...ramifications of this housing and credit debacle now look far worse than previously expected. Housing sales and starts are down sharply, while shares in everything from homebuilders to banks to mortgage insurers have been massacred. Moreover, there's a deepening fear that U.S. consumers - a key driver of global economic growth - might dramatically pare back their spending in the wake of this assault upon their wealth and confidence. In a recent letter to shareholders, legendary U.S. money manager Bill Miller warned: "The difference between what is unfolding now and the Crash of '87, or the problems with Long-Term Capital...
With eight passengers, one driver, and a 30-minute delay, one of the first Vamoose buses departed from Cambridge headed for the Big Apple—just one week after city officials said the line lacked necessary permits. Vamoose, a New York-based bus company which offers wireless internet and guaranteed seating, started operating the new daily line on Thursday, after receiving permission for passenger pick-up and drop-off from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department. After Vamoose began publicizing its new route, officials from Boston and Cambridge said it didn’t have the appropriate authorizations...
...Drishtee's early years, the company focused on connecting government departments to villages. Using small kiosks outfitted with a computer hooked up to an intranet, it allowed rural dwellers to apply for a driver's license or request a copy of a birth certificate online.

...Unless served a summons, however, Larios and Rodriguez prefer to respect barber-client privilege, especially with their bigger clients - the ones who have outgrown the chair, so to speak. Arnoldo Alem?n, the portly former president convicted on embezzlement charges, now sends a car and driver to fetch Rodr?guez to do a home haircut, for which the barber charges double, or $9. Miguel Obando y Bravo, who used to come into the shop when he was just Archbishop of Managua, started sending the car after the Pope named him cardinal...
...York Democrats. This is a too-clever-by-a-lot tendency she shares with her husband: the hope that she can admire untenable proposals made by other Democrats - like the recent tax reform proposed by Congressman Charles Rangel and Governor Eliot Spitzer's proposal to give illegal immigrants driver's licenses - without actually supporting them. She was caught on the latter in the debate and roundly hammered. But this sort of fudgery is not unusual among politicians. Edwards took the same admiring-but-not-quite-supporting position on driver's licenses when he was interviewed by ABC's George Stephanopoulos...
