...problems at EMI, the smallest of the Big Four record companies, have been getting more ink lately than its artists, which include the likes of Lily Allen and Coldplay. With EMI's slice of the world market under pressure - its share fell to 12.8% in 2006 from 13.6% the previous year - U.K. private-equity company Terra Firma acquired the firm for $6.5 billion last August. The new owner has been quick to make its mark: earlier this year EMI announced it was axing as many as 2,000 jobs in a bid to pare costs by $400 million a year...

...That $800 billion figure ignores three major costs to be paid out over the next few decades. First is the cost of providing medical care and disability compensation for veterans. Thanks to better medical care on the battlefield, the survival rate in Iraq is much higher than in previous wars: a ratio of seven troops wounded in combat for every death compared to 2.5 in Vietnam and Korea. (Including non-battlefield injuries, the Iraq ratio is an astounding 15:1.) But the cost of medical treatment for these veterans will be very high...
