...question of how authorities should interpret Germany's anti-Nazi laws is increasingly complicated. In the past, courts have banned everything from model airplanes bearing swastikas to postcards showing Hitler's picture. Even anti-Nazi symbols have been considered criminal: two years ago, the owner of a mail-order business faced a fine for selling T shirts and buttons with crossed-out swastikas on them, until a federal court overturned the ruling...
...frequency trading is a catchall description of several different approaches to stock-trading that capitalize on the blinding speed of supercomputers in analyzing and responding to market data. The owners of these supercomputers, investment firms such as Goldman Sachs and Citadel Investment in Chicago, employ special proprietary algorithms to interpret the data and execute transactions - all in less time than it takes a human to conjure a thought. Already, various forms of high-frequency trading, taken together, account for more than half of all trading now taking place in the U.S. Critics say the practice can raise the cost...

The Iranian leadership rejects what it calls double standards on violence: calling for peaceful solutions but waging war in Iraq. Iran's government (but not all its people) rejects cultural influences from...
...Biden's comments caused a stir precisely because U.S. officials have scrupulously avoided making comments that Iran might interpret as a green light from Washington for an Israeli strike. "That leads me to infer that [Biden's] was a planned statement," says Cliff Kupchan, director of Europe and Eurasia at the Eurasia Group, a risk consultancy in Washington. "It is very rare for any U.S. official, [much] less the Vice President, to make concrete comments on the possibility of an Israeli military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities." Kupchan warned in a note on Tuesday that Iran could interpret Biden...
