Much of the outrage is directed at bankers who earned huge bonuses by taking outsized risks with complex financial instruments, only to walk away scot-free when their bets went awry, plunging the world into crisis. Bonuses are just one aspect of the larger issue of moral hazard that has been raised over the past year, as governments and central banks have spent tens of billions of dollars of taxpayers' money to rescue financial...
...latest, six-part PBS series - The National Parks: America's Best Idea, which debuts Sept. 27 - does not sound like an exception. Who's going to argue with a tree? And the opening minutes - luxuriating in dramatic shots of lava flows, stalactites and waterfalls - promise plenty of unobjectionable, pledge-drive-friendly nature porn.

After Drew Plichta’s extra point attempt was good, the Bears trailed by just three, 24-21. And as Brown lined up for the onsides kick, Harvard knew all it had to do was come...
...last two minutes of the game, the kids finished it.” Also making his second career start at quarterback was junior Collier Winters (223 yards, 2 TD), whose second half heroics helped Harvard overcome a 14-10 halftime deficit. On the Crimson’s second drive after halftime, Winters led Harvard with both his arm and his feet on a 92-yard drive that culminated in a three-yard touchdown run from Winters, giving Harvard a 17-14 lead it would not relinquish. After a short rush by rookie Treavor Scales, Winters completed a 38-yard pass...
