...could call him Vin (The Refrigerator) Diesel: he's that solid, that cool, and precisely as emotive as your average kitchen appliance. The star of such red-meat melodramas as The Chronicles of Riddick and xXx has the huge, smooth head of an outdoor sculpture, a bad Buddha, and the dull eyes and mouth of a golem who's just been recklessly woken.

Investment bankers and derivative traders are getting what’s coming in the form of regulated pay and bonuses. Hedge funds will have to disclose their leverage levels to regulators. But deep structural changes in other international financial institutions must occur soon. It’s great that the IMF received funds to aid struggling developing countries, but part...
