...will get done in Washington, no one believes that will put an end to the current bad news. A bailout would be just the beginning of what looks to be a long and painful unwinding for Asia, for example. Even if the U.S. government can pass a plan to pump money into the financial system by buying bad mortgages - thus freeing up banks to lend money elsewhere - it won't "address the decimation of the wealth effect of the U.S. consumer," which many export-led Asian economies rely on, says Kirby Daley, senior strategist at Newedge Group, a financial services...

Blood transfusions were considered creepy before World War II. Transplant a heart? That's not just a pump, critics said; it's the seat of your soul. You hardly ever hear the chilly term test-tube baby anymore, because what was once odd and unnatural is now a routine salvation to millions of childless couples...
...recognized the shift early and focused its energy on blocking Democratic attempts to placate gas-pump shock through legislation that did not include expanded drilling. The more the Democrats tried, the harder the Republicans hit back. The GOP liked the issue so much that Republicans even stayed on Capitol Hill for part of the August recess demanding a vote on drilling...
