Palin's Progress I found myself in tears reading Nancy Gibbs' essay [Sept. 15]. Now I know that I'm not alone. I've been struggling to express my feelings to my circle of liberal friends. As a 60-year-old retiree and single parent who raised a child in the 1970s while working full-time on my career, I am haunted by my roads not taken. This article expresses why I won't be voting in this election. I can't vote for the McCain-Palin ticket in good conscience, due to their stand on issues that are dear...

In 1994, for example, amid the bankruptcy of Orange County, Calif., more than 20 money market funds were bailed out by their corporate parents. Only one fund was liquidated. And even then, investors received 96 cents on the dollar. The reason Moody's is considering downgrading 13 of Lehman's money markets isn't because of what they own, but because the ratings agency isn't sure the parent company, which is in bankruptcy, would be able to step...

The credit-default-swap contracts decree that if AIG's credit rating drops below a certain level, it has to fork over $13 billion in collateral to the buyers of the swaps.

They say the legal responsibility likely extends beyond the milk producers. "The [government's] quality control departments are probably responsible for the tragedy. It's unlikely that the whole thing consists of an independent crime committed by the dairy farmers", says Li Fangping, one of the Beijing-based lawyers who will be representing the parent group.
