...allows the U.S. to tie up the loose ends. It's brilliant: it allows the U.S. to do something it had always wanted it to do. It also makes the E.U. look proactive, showing it is not just waiting for the Obama Administration to come in and set the pace...
...Senate is not to everyone's tastes either. One of those who discovered that it wasn't, ironically enough, was Robert F. Kennedy. When he held the very seat to which Caroline now aspires, R.F.K. bristled at its aggravatingly slow pace, as well as the reality that junior members, no matter how famous, are expected to wait their turn.

As for severity, though the first eight months of the recession were quite mild, the pace of job losses since August is beginning to rival that of the big 1970s and '80s recessions. So while President-elect Barack Obama and others who dub this the worst downturn since the Great Depression don't have definitive evidence just yet, they're not blowing smoke either. (See pictures...
