...garbled dialogue between conflicting cultures, mutual trust is essential -- and it has been sorely lacking in the seven-week impasse between Mohawk Indians and Canadian authorities. Late last week, just as a possible resolution of the standoff appeared to be in sight, another factional skirmish broke out behind the barricades of the Mohawk community of Kanesatake, near Oka, 18 miles west of Montreal. The incident was relatively minor: two Mohawk men were severely beaten with baseball bats by a group of members of the militant Mohawk Warriors Society. But it was enough to break the impasse.

...Some of the mutual funds that invest in stocks of a particular country, like the New Germany Fund, which immediately shot up to a 70% premium over its intrinsic value when it was launched last year, may make sense now that euphoria has turned to euphearia and premiums have turned to discounts.

Taken to an extreme, this can lead to a litigious nation's equivalent of the tribal vendetta: You did my people wrong, so now I am entitled to do you wrong. A plague on every house...
...going to square off against one another, better they do so along a single, well-defined, well- fortified line that everyone knows not to cross. With a balance of power has come a balance of terror. War can be averted by that saving grace of the nuclear age, mutual deterrence...
