...measures, in a certain sense, how much stuff we can produce that we can drop on an enemy," Alan Krueger - now a top-ranked economist in the Obama Administration - said at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) World Forum in 2007. "It's natural in the post???Cold War era that we would turn to other measures of how well our society is doing...
...freedom has further fueled confrontation. I hope it is now understood that bombs don't spread democracy, whether in Iraq or in Lebanon. Real strength means you reach out to the other side and work out a solution that makes life better for both sides. The reconstruction efforts in post???World War II Europe provide a good example of what could be accomplished today. Why not repeat this approach in the Middle East, starting with Palestine and Israel? Axel Ruecker Munich...
...sort out these social mysteries? It has become extremely complicated to be polite in America. There was a time when the upwardly mobile and socially inecure believed as fervently as The Four Hundred that there existed somewhere?in the mind of God, perhaps, or the graven tablets of Emily Post???an absolute standard of The Correct.

He began his career as a professional artist at a time when large-scale magazine color illustration, thanks to radically improved printing technology...
...should a new monthly LIFE succeed less than half a dozen years after the old weekly stumbled? For one thing, network television ? which did much to kill general-interest mass-circulation magazines such as LIFE, Look and the Saturday Evening Post???has become far more expensive. A 30-second spot on Charlie's Angels costs $95,000, and a minute of next January's Super Bowl is going for $370,000. Even at those prices, desirable prime-time shows are solidly booked, with no more commercial time left for new sponsors. As a result, more and more advertisers...
