...demarcated world in which we know where everyone belongs—Mormons in Utah, gays in New York City. As the play goes on, the lines blur and the established order shifts. Personal insanity is just a symptom of the upheaval, and in fact, seems to be a small price to pay for the final, emotional catharsis that is affected at the end, in which differences are resolved. “The Great Work begins,” a radiantly confident Prior announces at the end of the play.

That point aside, oil stocks did remarkably well when crude was $147 last July...
...have only minimally written down the value of these troubled loans, and once they hit the marketplace they could be valued much lower. Geithner's plan offers cheap loans to investors to try to entice them to pay handsomely for these loans, but investors are unlikely to pay full price or even close to it. So in order to sell the loans banks will have to recognize losses that could run as high as $200 billion for the sector in general. "The gap between bank marks on these distressed [loans] and their economic value appears to be too wide...
