...question is, Who gets to fill it? As soon as word of the atrocity began leaking out of the building--and it was on local TV 28 minutes after the first shot was fired--ownership of the story of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold was being fiercely contested. Were they natural-born killers? Or were they victims themselves--of bullying, of bad parenting, of mental illness? Were they sent by the devil, as some local Evangelical preachers argued? The killers had a version of their story too, which they told in the journals and videos they left behind. They believed...
...fair one. The ministry of tourism and antiquities, on the other hand, shares my belief, which is: open it today, one gallery for one hour. And tomorrow it's one gallery for two hours. And on and on. And you enable all of Iraq to take ownership of their museum and you enable, you force the world to sit up and take notice. Iraq is more than just bombs and war. It's about history...
...Banking Committee chairman Barney Frank was not about to be bothered with such legislative niceties.

There are probably many more than that but getting an accurate count of businesses that may employ only one or two people is almost impossible. The National Automobile Dealers Association, in contrast...
What's more, IndyMac is only one of four financial firms to have effectively been nationalized during the current financial crisis. Among that group, which also includes Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and AIG, only IndyMac has been returned to private ownership. The others seem a long way off from a similar outcome, if at all. Critics of nationalization say taking over and resolving the issues at a bank like Citigroup, which has hundreds of thousands of employees and businesses spread around the world, would be a much more difficult task than turning around IndyMac, which is a relatively small bank...
