...deflation is a Fed committed to avoid it at all costs." And that's what we have. Study of the Japanese experience became something of a cottage industry for Fed researchers over the past eight years, and the Fed has responded accordingly: lending directly to banks, backstopping the commercial-paper market (which companies use to raise short-term money), trying to bring yields on both long- and short-term maturities down. Further, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke went out of his way recently not to object to the possibility of further fiscal stimulus from Congress. In other words...
...Gist: Today's schizophrenic may believe that terrorists are beaming radio transmissions into his brain; 50 years ago, however, Communists were the culprits. And a century ago, before radio was invented, it might have been a simple case of "hearing voices." In a paper published last spring, three Slovenian psychiatrists examined the ways in which insanity has historically manifested itself, and whether "crazy" has always been the same.

Publishing a full-color newspaper every week, however, is enormously expensive, to say nothing about the cost of the incessant merchandising and trinket offers which the paper has set out as come-alongs. Other student groups, even well-established ones, can only dream about having that kind of money. What is at work in The Voice’s shoddy quality is not amateurism or a lack of resources. It is a superficial showmanship and a prevailing laziness...
