...those in the developing world. On campuses throughout the U.S., that has become the conventional wisdom: free trade, which is the motor of globalization, drives down wages, promotes sweatshop and child labor and is, broadly speaking, a conspiracy on the part of rapacious corporate managers and wealthy shareholders to grind the faces of the poor...
...Holocaust survivors - compared to barely a third of Israel's over-60s generally. A similar imbalance was found in the country's other mental hospitals. Decades of using antipsychotic drugs like haloperidol and Thorazine hadn't worked. In the lobby of the survivors' ward, patients still shake uncontrollably and grind their jaws grotesquely from the side effects of such drugs. Barak changed the diagnosis of schizophrenia attached to most of the 120 survivors in his ward to "long-term post-traumatic psychosis."

Although consumers have been pretty stalwart, considering, about doing the patriotic thing and spending their money, the job market is still a very scary place, and the emotional pallor of the post-Sept. 11 world still means a damper on traffic at the malls.

...Particularly when the stock market seems to have settled into its own slow grind. The dramatic run-ups of post-Sept. 11 took a huge bite of 2001's stock losses, but all three major indexes still posted losses for the second straight year. Another three bears in 2002 would make it the first three-year losing streak since 1941. And more than a few forecasters - seeing disappointing corporate earnings, still-shell-shocked capital spenders and languid consumer demand - are predicting just that...
