...released, and the pessimists were proved right. The gap between imports and exports widened to $12.2 billion, up from July's $9.5 billion. While the deficit has been shrinking this year -- to an estimated total of $140 billion, compared with $170 billion in 1987 -- progress may be slowing. That prospect has aborted the U.S. dollar's summer rally. The currency fell last week to 128.25 yen, capping a decline of 4% since August. The plunging dollar reflected the belief among traders that a weaker currency will be necessary to wean U.S. consumers from foreign imports...
...would mean a repeat by next spring of the oil-market collapse of early 1986, when OPEC overproduction sent prices crashing to less than $10 per bbl. While cheap energy helps most Western economies by lowering inflation, petroleum at prices below $10 or $12 per bbl. is a painful prospect for such indebted oil producers as Algeria and Mexico and the weakened U.S. energy belt...

In Algeria, falling oil revenue and prolonged government austerity measures have been blamed for triggering the recent riots that have killed as many as 400 people. Mexico, which relies on oil for 40% of its total export income, expects that oil revenues will fall below $6 billion this year, compared with exports worth $7.8 billion in 1987. As a result, Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid has announced $220 million in new cuts in the government's $90 billion...

I also firmly believe in the concept of trial by a jury of one's peers; it is undeniably one of the cornerstones of our judicial system, and goes hand in hand with the American conception of democracy...
...presidency because of what he did, its because he lied and got caught. So we have to tell the truth. We're not obligated to tell all of it. It's an antagonistic contest between two candidates. So we can tell the truth selectively... Targeting is the elimination of prospects. If you target me out, you leave your best prospect for the expenditure of your resources; and if you create the best messge for those prospects, then you'll have a greter chance of making your money and people go farther...
