...According to Willis, money alone isn't the problem. Rather, it's that kids in wealthy families often are given too much freedom, which leads to a sense of entitlement and a lack of accountability. Underlying the selfishness is insecurity, say Jon and Eileen Gallo, co-authors of the book Silver Spoon Kids: How Successful Parents Raise Responsible Children. "They grow up worried inside, thinking, 'Do people like me for who I am?'" says Jon. "It's about developing an identity of their own that's separate from their parents and their parents' money." Being born into wealth often means...
...become harder to tell good investment managers from lucky ones - and lucky ones from outright frauds. In a recent paper, Dean Foster, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and H. Peyton Young, a senior fellow in economics at the Brookings Institution, argued that the lack of industry regulation makes bad managers nearly impossible to detect. By making bets that have a relatively low probability of failing - say, 10% - an unskilled manager has a 90% chance of making good. But if the bet does go south, the industry's fee structure, which often includes 2% of investors...
...Campaign '08: Memories... My own "moment to remember" of the 2008 campaign is illustrated by one of your voices, Laura Ingraham: the Republicans' utter lack of vision [Nov. 10].

If you have no message, you probably won't get much coverage. Dennis Sheehan, Waupaca, Wisconsin...
Laura Ingraham's contribution to TIME's "Moments to Remember" from the 2008 campaign illustrates my own: the Republicans' utter lack of vision [Nov. 10]. The overwhelming majority of their campaign ads never carried the remotest hint of what the Republicans would do if elected. Instead, like Ingraham, they produced laundry lists of reasons not to vote for the opposition. GOP mouthpieces complain that their candidates don't get positive coverage in the mainstream media. Yet if you have no message, you probably won't get much coverage. Dennis Sheehan, WAUPACA, WISC...
...where agencies may lack muscle, the personal-injury bar doesn't. To date, plaintiff attorneys have filed 60 suits against Baxter and SPL in federal court. SPL CEO Strunce can claim his company's heparin met Chinese standards, but that's probably a meaningless defense in a U.S. trial. For American drug companies using sources in China, quality control is not just China's problem--it's also their problem...
