...unprecedented level of global interdependence deepened the U.S. recession, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, according to the two professors of economics who lead a discussion on “The Global Impacts of the Financial Crisis” yesterday afternoon. International Economics Professor Richard N. Cooper said he was surprised by the extent of the damage wrought by the sub-prime mortgage crisis. “I don’t know of anyone who foresaw the ramifications of the sub-prime crisis through the whole economic system,” he said...
...recession is another factor in the sales jump. Guns are expensive - Baker, for example, paid $200 for her shotgun - yet fear trumps the cost of a weapon for people worried that the economic crisis will lead to more crime. "Protection of the family, protection of the home, is utmost on people's minds," says Keffer. Many big cities have indeed seen crime tick higher during the downturn.

Nobody was sure where Niazamuddin's loyalties lay. The local Afghan army commander was sure he was Taliban, though the U.S. commander wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. If Niazamuddin was willing to lead a search, that would provide an example of solid leadership in a town riven by extremist sympathies. But Niazamuddin had gone back on his offer. If members of the Taliban found out he had led the Americans to suspicious houses, he said, they would kill him. The operation's leader, 1st Lieut. Glenn Burkey, exploded with frustration. U.S. forces had taken gunfire from...
