As the various industry bailouts - banks, auto companies, credit unions and, next, states - seek to reassure investors, collectively they confirm just how bad things...

Morgan Stanley, which already has $36 billion in deposits, is selling billions of dollars' worth...
...prepares to face his Russian opponent Anatoly Sergievsky (Adam M. Lathram ’10) amid a politically tense atmosphere. Everyone, it seems, is a secret agent—or could be. When Freddie rashly accuses Anatoly of cheating, the game is suspended for negotiations. Meanwhile, Florence Vassy (Morgan L. Mallory ’10), Freddie’s Hungarian-American second, leaves her underappreciated role by Freddie’s side and instead begins a hasty and torrid romance with Anatoly...
