...movies, being out of touch with your buddies is a terrible offense and must be corrected immediately, no matter the cause. Nick and Adam have grown apart for standard reasons: Nick's friends think he is completely whipped by his wife (he has hyphenated his last name with hers) and his career is in the toilet (he works at a pet-grooming parlor called 'Sup Dawg). Lou, on the other hand, is a rude, crude alcoholic whose nickname is the Violator - a man it would be a brilliant idea to grow apart from - but he's also the impetus...
Friedman suggests mothers should not work, or if they must, should not return to work until their children are at least 1 year old. Critics, and many, many working mothers, quickly pointed out that he offers no statistics for his theory (as in, exactly how many nannies Tiger Woods must have had), nor does his proposal seem particularly practical, since many women have little choice but either to return to work after having children or to not feed said children. Additionally, it rankled many women that Friedman lays the blame for men's fidelity issues on females...
Congress is now approaching a crucial opportunity for financial reform. Such a reform must be tough and intelligent, as a weak reform would create a dangerously false illusion of security and stability.

...China, for its part, is not just playing hard-to-get on sanctions; it believes that Iran's nuclear program represents no imminent weaponization threat and that a lot more time must be allowed for dialogue in order to bring Tehran into full compliance with its obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Despite Clinton's suggestion that Beijing supports the idea of parallel tracks of pressure and diplomacy, Chinese officials have repeatedly warned that sanctions could undermine prospects for a diplomatic solution, and has refused to consider the adoption of new measures at the Security Council. Beijing's opposition...
...Papandreou is certainly raising the stakes. Greece's public finances are in a parlous state, and Papandreou says the government must refinance a large chunk of its fast-growing debt - conservatively estimated at 125% of GDP - or risk defaulting on its loans. He wants E.U. leaders to agree once and for all on a financial safety net for his country when they meet for a summit in Brussels on Thursday and Friday. If the E.U. can't come to terms on a rescue plan, he says, Greece will be forced to turn to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - a move...
