...Wall Street right now, it is ugly all around. UBS took a $3.4 billion write-down. Citigroup copped to $3.3 billion, and rumors started circulating that CEO Chuck Prince was headed for the door. Less than a week before his ouster, O'Neal explained the genesis of the malaise: "We just got too big in this area," he said. They simply kept going. In a culture where bigger only means better, it's almost hard to imagine it any other way. At least until the market comes along and rights itself...

Abandoned half-built buildings throughout Asian cities stood as mute reminders not only of the shattered hopes of many an empire builder but also those of ordinary workers who could no longer send home money to their village for their daughters' schoolbooks or their...
...Although in recent years, terror experts had believed that the U.S.-led military ouster of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan had scattered al-Qaeda and forced it to assume a more decentralized form, there is now growing concern that Bin Laden's network has managed to regain its footing. "These groups feel somewhat freer to plot and plan along the Afghan-Pakistan border, where they have what amounts to a refuge," a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told TIME. Indeed, the central role of NATO in fighting the Taliban-Qaeda alliance in Afghanistan has also raised the incentive for the jihadists...
