...facing its biggest crisis since the Depression - when Europeans also first mistakenly thought the problem would remain confined to the U.S. One leading German politician, Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble, even raised the specter of the kind of longer term economic dislocation that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler. "Four months ago," says economist Schmidt, "I might have said that it may not get worse. But we have not seen anything like this before. I cannot say that we have reached the bottom. I am afraid that may not be the case." - With reporting by Catherine Mayer / London...
...This My-Name-Is-Girl concept may be outlandish, but Ex List is also fresh and raunchily funny (there's a scene in the pilot comparing feminine-waxing choices to historical figures - the "Hitler," the "Gandhi"), and Reaser is winning and adorable.

"In the last days, people close to Hitler kept telling him it was still possible to win," retorts a former government adviser. "That's what the people close to Brown are like." But there's some cause for optimism in the bunker: only a year ago, Brown was riding high and his Conservative counterpart, David Cameron, was in the doldrums. The speedy reversal...
...days of Austria's far right, in which politicians, including Haider, commended Adolf Hitler's employment programs or spoke sympathetically to groups of former Wehrmacht officers, are over. Instead, Strache, 39, is presenting himself as a rebel and an outsider...
