...Murano baubles were broken, the Dutchers should sue Iowa officials. By scheduling caucuses for Jan. 3, they managed to stuff presidential politics into the holidays. The ugly consequence: on snowy lawns, placards touting candidates compete with colored lights and wire reindeer. On television and radio, desperate pols vie with desperate retailers for the attentions of holiday audiences. Between the office party, the school pageant and the search for the elusive Wii, who has time for a meet-and-greet with one candidate?

TIME journalists are like investigators who explore, gather and present facts on the assigned case as thoroughly...
...hearts, Canadians saw their dollar rise - few failing to appreciate that, in some way or another, the Canadian economy was smoking its U.S. counterpart. Growth in Western Canada had been blistering for years. Construction boomed. Across the country, employment rose. Toronto Blue Jays CEO Paul Godfrey told a U.S. radio station in October that each one-cent increase in the loonie was saving him $600,000 a year in U.S.-dollar player salaries...
