...some, Google's numerous business deals overshadow the additions on its search side and suggest a slide away from consumers as it seeks new areas of growth. "Google has been an inspiring and innovative company, but the recent alliances seem less creative," says Irma Zandl, principal of the Zandl Group, a marketing and trend-forecasting agency in New York City. "They seem to be going in a less consumer-centric direction, focusing instead on monetizing to the max, which may be a good thing from a Wall Street perspective but perhaps not so good from the consumers' standpoint."

...family had grown rich from generations of shrewd investments in real estate, banking, glass importing and even hardware. But in his youth--and for that matter in his adulthood--T.R. showed very little interest in adding to the family fortune. When Roosevelt was a toddler, his asthma began to overshadow everything he did. As he grew, Theodore was too "delicate" for school--until Harvard he was educated at home--and too weak to stand up to other boys.

Neither is it particularly substantive. Yet with “Son,” Molina proves that, on rare occasions, light music can also be great music. The joy of this album is the joy of simple things...
...intifada has proven repeatedly that Palestinian militancy is driven by economic instability and social frustration. If international donors follow through on their threat to cut aid to the Palestinian government, Hamas may be doomed to failure. But, the immediate consequences of an aid cut for the Palestinian people will overshadow the long-term consequences for the Hamas government. First, there will be a security meltdown, then the majority of Palestinians will find themselves in an intense humanitarian crisis (with shortages of food and medicine), and then there will be social chaos (with youth on the streets, non-functioning schools, social...
