...think we've seen a bottom. I don't think we've seen the bottom. If America's determining its policy on whether the stock market is up for a month, America's in worse shape than I'd realized. We could have a rally for who knows, six months, a year, we could have a rally for a while after having had the kind of collapse we did. In the '30s the stock market rallied frequently. But in the end it was still the Great Depression...
...None of the extravagance, it should be noted, is extraordinary at Condé Nast or other glossies.

Newhouse Jr. stuck by her a month past the April issue, which at 106 pages was reputed to be the thinnest his company had ever published.

Even the Indian ambassador to Kathmandu, Rakesh Sood, made several representations to Prime Minister Prachanda, asking him to back...
...accounts, accommodating all 19,000 former guerrillas in the army is not possible. Earlier this month, the Army Integration Special Committee set out to conduct the first survey of what the former rebels want to do. A vast majority are expected to opt to join the Nepal army, but those who don't make the cut will have to be assimilated into other security forces or given other jobs per the terms of the accord. "Some 5,000 have left - they just got tired of waiting," says Kosmos Biswokarma, spokesman for the U.N. mission in Nepal. "The rest are getting...
