...opens with the assertion: "The current downturn is the first post World War II recession that has its roots in widespread moral failure." It's an interesting, if debatable contention, but equally interesting is the authorities Levine cites as he makes his argument: the Jewish torah, the mishna (transcribed oral law), talmud, the work of medieval jurists like Maimonides, and host of rabbinical opinions (responsas) ever since. Levine is an Orthodox rabbi as well as a prof, and his institution is Yeshiva University. The book is titled Judaism and Economics; and his article's title is "The Recession...
...ruling, the Second Circuit Court essentially calls for the Commission to choose "between allowing any free use of any expletive no matter how graphic or gratuitous, or else adopting a (likely unconstitutional) across-the-board prohibition against expletives." The Supreme Court - should it decide to address the case after oral arguments - will have to decide if the FCC has the right to enforce its new policy under federal communication...

He is terrified of losing her and cries for hours. Buffett had always avoided hospitals and was squeamish about all things medical - a "man who ducked the subject of a common cold and used terms like 'not feeling up to par' as euphemisms for illness; the man who changed the subject uneasily whenever anyone spoke of physical complaints." And yet with his wife undergoing radiation after facial surgery, he overcomes...
