Other sectors are now in the grip of recession. Earnings at energy companies, for example, are expected to plunge 50%. Technology companies could see their incomes drop by a third. Consumer staples - companies like Procter & Gamble that produce toothpaste and toilet paper - could be one of the few sectors to escape the economic downturn. Goldman expects earnings for those companies to be flat in 2009 compared with last year, before rising...
Puzzles really help newspapers. They help the print edition because most people agree it's more satisfying to solve a puzzle on paper than on a screen.

In the months leading up to the debate, both sides - those in favor of strong action on climate change...
Finally, the speed dating began. Each of us had a nametag with a number, and a sheet of paper to write down the names of the people we met and whether we wanted to see them again. I soon discovered that I would need to shout the entire time because the room was so loud. At least I didn’t have anyone take advantage of this as an excuse to invade my personal space. Some girls (see photo) were not so lucky...
