...Tuesday it?s the FOMC, and although we know about the quarter-point (or think we do) what still bears parsing is the Fed?s accompanying statement, which will hopefully contain some accompanying logic (sadly lacking in June) for why Greenspan and the gang have officially slowed their easing pace to 25-point increments...
...decided to proceed, but very carefully. By allowing federal funding for research only on stem cells that have already been harvested, he could argue that he was upholding his campaign promise not to promote research that requires destroying embryos. But Congress, science, Bush's own logic--or some combination of all three--could quickly overtake the President's decision. If the 65 Bush-approved stem-cell colonies aren't enough to find the limits of this new science, pressure to expand the research will be intense. By opening the door to research on cells derived from embryos in the past...
Bush may end up tripping on his own logic. Now that he has sanctioned the principle of government funding for research in existing stem-cell lines, he may have difficulty holding the line at 65. Privately funded researchers will be producing new stem-cell colonies from discarded embryos. When scientists come to Bush saying the federally approved cell lines show promise but they need more cell lines, by what argument will he be able to say no? "I have made this decision with great care," Bush said in his address. "I pray it is the right...

Logic would dictate that in an industry obsessed with youth and trendiness, young designers would be the toast of the day and old hands would be as popular as great-aunts at Christmas. Guess again. Fashion eats its young. And the legends live on and on - treated respectfully until they choose to retire. There's even a special lexicon used to review collections of the old masters, no matter how out of date ("elegant!"), out of touch ("timeless!"), or dowdy ("refined!"). This discrepancy was blatantly apparent at the recent haute couture shows in Paris...
