...just one problem, Congressman Cow Patty: A lot of us did eat it, including many of your constituents. The $1.2 trillion - let's spell that out as $1,200,000,000,000 - that disappeared from the stock market on Monday didn't go down a black hole in lower Manhattan. It came out of America's 401(k)s, mutual funds, pension funds and personal portfolios. We've got $17.6 trillion in retirement assets invested as of 2007. There is some $12 trillion invested in mutual funds alone (well, at least before yesterday); about 44% of all U.S. households hold...
...where he monitors two computers and a TV while chewing on Necco Wafers, Bernanke is calmer, quieter and prone to offering up a fourth option when three are on the table. Paulson called him "pragmatic, intellectually curious--a courageous guy." Geithner, working from the New York Fed's imposing Manhattan headquarters on Liberty Street, often serves as the bridge between the other two back in Washington.

...doesn't need the validation of older comics; it's got winning stars in their early 20s who are true both to this moment and to old star quality. In the 1930s, Hollywood had The Thin Man, with the married couple Nick and Nora Charles as the epitome of Manhattan swank. Though this Nick and Norah have a lot more angst, they're just as worth watching, admiring and cuddling...
...worries him sick. He seems prematurely 40, so that any teen trauma has the impact of a midlife crisis or some awful dream endlessly repeating itself. As Nick O'Leary in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, he's the theoretically cool bass player in a band playing a Manhattan club. Except that the band is called the Jerk Offs, the other two members are gay, their audience includes blasé members of Nick's New Jersey high school, and one of them is Tris (Alexis Dziena), the girl Nick has nakedly and mostly unrequitedly adored for ages...
