Option No. 1 is domestic political suicide, and it might not be smart economics either; slashing government spending and raising taxes during a downturn could worsen that downturn. Option No. 2 seems the best of the lot but has high international political hurdles to surmount. No. 3 would be a disaster for Greece and for the global financial system. As for No. 4, given that there are no procedures for leaving the euro, it might risk unraveling the entire project. In the euro's prelaunch period, a few skeptics predicted that the mismatch between a single European currency and differing...
...rule. The latest Scorsese-DiCaprio pairing, Shutter Island, was originally to come out last October, in plenty of time to beat the Academy drum. When the film's distributor, Paramount, abruptly switched the release date to February 2010, the move was taken as an admission that the movie lacked either Oscar gravitas or box-office clout.

Is the woman betrayed by the man, or is she controlling him, or both? Could either a U.S. President or a U.K. Prime Minister be a Manchurian candidate, his policies programmed by an outside agency? That's enough conspiracies even for Polanski...
...reminded Peter that my father, an orthopedist himself whom Peter knows well, had this fracture, and he treated it closed. I reminded him that closed treatment was not perfect - but neither were the results with surgery. I would expect Carol's wrist to be somewhat stiff and occasionally achy either way. A scientist could appreciate that there is ultimately very little pure data here. Surgery would be my choice if and only if the doctor couldn't get (and hold) good position with a closed reduction and casting - and I thought he probably could. Finally I told Peter that...
