...showed no fear at all. Wall Streeters didn't have to worry about regulation, which was in disrepute, and they didn't worry about risk, which had supposedly been magically whisked away by all sorts of spiffy nouveau products - derivatives like credit-default swaps. (More on those later.) This lack of fear became a hothouse of greed and ignorance on Wall Street - and on Main Street as well. When greed exceeds fear, trouble follows. Wall Street has always been a greedy place and every decade or so it suffers a blow resulting in a bout of hand-wringing and regret...
What's more, even where records exist, there is usually no way to confirm their validity. Doctors in the developing world often lack lab facilities to authenticate cases of suspected malaria. Perhaps more often, they never even get to see patients who have the disease - many patients either cannot afford the time or money to see a doctor or they simply self-diagnose and take cheap over-the-counter medications to battle malaria-like symptoms. The WHO estimates that nationally reported (but often unvalidated) malaria cases account for just 40% of the global estimate; the other 60% comes from "detective...
...lack the strategic vision of Bismarck or the tactical genius of Talleyrand, but French President Nicolas Sarkozy is clearly drawn to the endless challenges of foreign policy. His rising popularity in France suggests that a majority of French citizens are pleased with their President's diplomatic record.

...effort in the 45th minute by Fucito. The England-native would finish the night with seven saves.The second half presented a similarly difficult challenge as the first did. The Rams’ conundrum in the back continued to aggravate the Crimson’s attackers.Although shots were aplenty, the lack of polish in Harvard’s finishes kept the Crimson chasing a result in the waning minutes of the match.With five minutes to play, Pennock was once again called into action. A clever through-ball from the midfield allowed Akpan to slip past URI’s center backs...
...have warned kindergartners about sexual predators and improper touching.) The accusation that Obama was referring to Sarah Palin when he said McCain's effort to remarket his economic policies was putting "lipstick on a pig" was another clearly misleading attack - an obnoxious attempt to divert attention from Palin's lack of fitness for the job and the recklessness with which McCain chose her. McCain's assault on the "élite media" for spreading rumors about Palin's personal life - actually, the culprits were a few bloggers and the tabloid press - was more of the same. And that gets us close...
