...restore confidence so that consumers shop rather than stash their money in safe-deposit boxes. While domestic demand remains sluggish, government spending has to take up the slack and keep at it. In Japan, a recovery was aborted in the late 1990s when, at the first sight of green shoots, the government raised taxes. President Barack Obama is committed to reducing this year's federal budget deficit of $1.3 trillion by half in four years. That's a laudable goal - as long as private-sector demand has picked up by then...
Kings' setting - a cleaned-up version of Manhattan - is stunning. You're lulled by familiarity, then rattled by reminders - say, a scribe following on Silas' heels, scribbling hagiography on a tablet computer - that this is a very different place. But some of creator Michael Green's inventions are puzzling or simplistic. Gilboa and Gath have modern armies, so why are they facing off across trenches as if it were World War I?

Along the way he shot a pedestrian - an employee of a near-by psychiatric clinic - before hijacking a green Volkswagen Sharan along with its terrified owner. Threatened at gunpoint, the driver, 41, turned his vehicle towards Stuttgart. But heavy traffic made the murderer worried and so they turned back again. After a wild trip down country roads, the car crashed into a roadside ditch on the Autobahn entry ramp near the town of Wendlingen am Neckar, some...
Dartmouth’s speed on the court allowed the team to use a quick double team to shut down Markley and Tay, and the Big Green was never really challenged by the Harvard offense...
