...Bernard Baumohl. "This indicates the economy is stronger and more resilient than investors and economists had thought. Everybody will keep an eye on economic data between now and August 20 to see if the numbers indicate the economy is continuing to grow at a strong pace." The Fed has kept rates steady at 5.25 percent since January, but with the economy growing at an annual rate of about 4 percent last quarter that is likely to change. "The question now is will the Fed raise rates 25 or 50 basis points," Baumohl says. Economists had been predicting the economy would...

During the Troopergate scandal in 1993, Lindsey enlisted the former head of Clinton's security detail to give a TV interview favorable to the President. His hovering role puts him constantly on the road, where he wears two pagers and often has to be reminded...
Much of what has kept Lindsey at Clinton's side over the past 28 years is an inner confidence that comes from his family's Midwestern Presbyterianism--"a sense of predestination," as White House senior aide Mack McLarty once put it. Lindsey is often the one in high-level meetings who speaks only if he has to.
