...study has some obvious shortcomings, particularly that it relies entirely on self-reports from a self-selected group of respondents. Much more rigorous research needs to be conducted to understand the relationship between mental illness and pimples - as well as the root cause of bad cases of acne. But in the meantime, drug companies might want to start working on a Clearasil-Prozac miracle cream...

And even the harshest of critics would be hard-pressed to begrudge the next day’s loss at Connecticut, which received 15 first-place votes in the latest NCAA rankings. But it was obvious to fans and coaches alike that the Crimson was still very much in preseason form.

It's not obvious that we need such a drastic overhaul now, but still, the contrasts with 1930s are stark. Ironic, too. By following their belief that financial markets should work out their own problems, Andrew Mellon and his kindred spirits at the Fed triggered a financial collapse that more or less ensured major, permanent...
