...Thompson campaign is hoping that this hawkish immigration message will help earn its candidate a bronze medal on caucus night, January 3. With the two Republican front-runners, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, both polling over 25%, a respectable third-place finish is the most that Thompson can hope for. But even that won't be easy, since three Republican candidates are vying for the third spot in Iowa - Arizona Sen.

At a time of extreme stress in global-equity and credit markets, many governments have surplus foreign exchange to play with--and because of the falling U.S. dollar, they are increasingly interested in investing their cash where it can earn greater returns than it would from U.S. Treasury debt, the traditional haven. The largest SWFs--the so-called Super Seven, comprising China, Russia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Norway and two Singapore funds--control up to $1.8 trillion.
