...meant some very difficult decisions. In some of the nations devastated by the crisis, there is a growing anti-U.S. backlash, and politicians such as Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad complain that Rubin, Greenspan and Summers--and their henchmen at the International Monetary Fund--have turned nations like Malaysia and Russia into leper colonies by isolating them from global capital and making life hellish in order to protect U.S. growth. The three admit they've made hard choices--and they'll even cop to some mistakes--but they still believe that a strong U.S. economy is the last, best...
...that is not the correct interpretation. Ancient interpreters (otherwise known as baby boomers) figured that "Love Me Do" meant "please love me," only the word "do" was used because it rhymes with "true" in the line "You know I'll be true." Ah, those Liverpudlians were so clever...

The House managers are now the ones who need prosthetic hands (we won't discuss the prosthetic meant for Clinton here) and for pols, prez and press alike there's Purple Hearts all around. But if we had it all to do over again...
...course. I am not interested in offering courses that simply appeal to students, but I'm happy to have a large group. I try to structure the course to meet interests and needs while doing justice to the material. But, yes, I chose a spiffy title. It was meant to catch their eye...but the readings are not meant to capture a market. It's a very appealing topic! It's just fascinating. We're all fascinated with consuming, and we haven't approached it intellectually...
