...should just automatically increase the money supply 3% to 4% a year. Measuring the money supply in an era of financial innovation has turned out to be awfully hard, so in recent years believers in an automated Fed have turned to an equation concocted by Stanford economist John Taylor that takes in inflation, current economic growth and long-term-trend growth and churns out a suggested Fed interest-rate target. Taylor and some other conservatives have said that if the Fed had followed his rule in the early 2000s, all would be well today. There's no way of knowing...
...become rich and famous in the depression '30s, a fellow could make movies, play baseball or rob banks. John Dillinger chose Way 3, and for a while he enjoyed the celebrity of a Clark Gable or a Lou Gehrig. Newspapers breathlessly limned his exploits as he made sizable withdrawals from vaults throughout the Midwest, using his machine gun as collateral.

...this new orientation within psychiatry. I wanted to offer a couple of clarifications: You state that those who met our criteria for risk of psychosis were 30 times as likely to develop the illness as those in the general population. Something got lost in translation in my interview with John Cloud; in fact, our research shows that such a person is more than 400 times as likely to develop psychosis. Also, the necessary critical mass of controlled, randomized clinical-trial treatment data has yet to be gathered, so it is premature to conclude that "it works." We still have...
