Those who remember Duran Duran usually remember the hair, frosted to 1980s-excess perfection. Or maybe the videos, replete with scantily-clad, poorly-fed European models. Of course, there were also the hits: “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Girls on Film,” and “Rio.” For the last decade, however, most conversational references made to Duran Duran have been ironic and anachronistic.

...bombastic host of CNBC's Mad Money is not known for understatement. His wild on-air rant in August about Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke became a YouTube favorite.

...have been passed over for Chairman of the Federal Reserve in 2005, but five undergraduates on Tuesday won first place in the national Federal Reserve Challenge Competition—the first time that Harvard has ever made it to the finals, let alone taken the top prize. The Harvard Fed Challenge Team beat out the SUNY Geneseo team, who came in second, and the three-time returning champions from Northwestern University, who finished third.

...independence, whatever the objections of Belgrade and Moscow, Western leaders found it difficult to argue for an alternative. "Now that Russia has cast its lot so effusively with Serbia," said one Western official, "I don't see another five, six or 10 months of talks providing any significant benefits." Fed up with the stonewalling, the U.S. and major E.U. countries such as France, Britain and Germany have now signaled their readiness to recognize Kosovo, though a handful of smaller E.U. states like Spain and Cyprus may yet withhold formal recognition, worried that such a concession might encourage separatists on their...
