...Your reporters bent over backward to create some religious Americana that has a special place in the Pope's heart. We're plain talkers, not afraid to wade into deeply divisive theological and moral questions and yet always cognizant of our spiritual grounding harking back to this country's origins.

...snug in the heart of London's burgeoning financial quarter, how about this for a customer-growth strategy: "We don't want to get bigger," says Hoare. "The bigger you are, the more risk you have of a reputational accident because you weren't able to oversee [the business] properly." So, at roughly 10,000-strong, C. Hoare & Co.'s customer base has reached its limits. Those that do make it in tend to be very well-heeled: investment portfolios at the bank average $1.5 million, while basic account holders maintain balances of anywhere from $2 million in the black...
