This study isn't the first to come to that conclusion. A 2005 paper published in Urban Affairs Review by Lance Freeman, an assistant professor of urban planning at Columbia University, looked at a nationwide sample of neighborhoods between 1986 and 1989 and found that low-income residents tended to move out of gentrifying areas at essentially the same frequency they left other neighborhoods. The real force behind the changing face of a gentrifying community, Freeman concluded, isn't displacement but succession. When people move away as part of normal neighborhood turnover, the people who move in are generally more...
...Some European governments have recently moved to cut business ties. German officials on Friday ordered a Munich company, Giesecke and Devrient, to stop supplying Zimbabwe with the paper on which it prints its near-worthless banknotes - with Zimbabwe's estimated annual inflation rate at about 165,000%, the printers of Zimbabwe dollars have been a regular client of Giesecke and Devrient...
...President, Reagan convinced many Americans that they were living in that mythic land once again. He was a master at associating himself with America's cherished symbols.

In fact, Reagan practically became one of those symbols himself: the cowboy President, sitting astride his horse, framed by a rugged Western terrain...
...effect it's the first act of the Obama presidency," says former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton. "We've given them pure gold [by removing them from the TWEA and State Sponsors of Terror lists] and in return they've given us a piece of paper, which we have no means of verifying." Skeptics don't believe that the North will come clean in the material handed over Thursday about its alleged uranium enrichment program. In late 2002, the U.S. accused Pyongyang of hiding just such a program, an allegation that led to the North pulling...
...disputing that a snapshot of Baghdad on some days reveals a country on the upswing. In fact, almost all would agree that it's safer today than it was at the height of sectarian violence in 2006. But with security gains from one day to the next still paper thin at times, it is difficult to conclude that this period represents progress that will last. More likely, it's just another dip in the roller coaster...
