...prospect which, far from being immodest, should cause every intelligent person in the country to shudder. If the great engineers of the plans to return the economy to health are wrong, the result will be a ship wreck, a catastrophe so large that it cannot be contained, no matter how much money the government is willing to invest...
...mess he inherited from his predecessor, but on this occasion, the worst imaginings of the Bush Administration served him well. Authorities in Mexico said 150 people are believed to have been killed by swine flu. More than 100 in seven other countries are infected. But it almost doesn't matter that Obama has had no Health and Human Services Secretary to manage the response--or a surgeon general or a head of the CDC or a border-patrol commissioner.

While the Army punishes murderers severely, it has rarely executed soldiers in the post-World War II era; the last time it did was in 1961. Green's lawyers have thus maintained that it is fundamentally unfair that their client faces a much harsher potential penalty than his already convicted co-conspirators, for whom the Army did not seek death and who will be eligible for parole in 10 years. The day before the trial began, federal prosecutors asked the judge to have this line of argument...
