...more insidious risk of adding heaps of debt--as happened with Long-Term Capital. "You worry about one manager blowing up and having it ripple through the industry," says Mark Anson, chief investment officer at the California Public Employees' Retirement System. A serious ripple could lead to a rapid decline in stocks and bonds as large financial institutions try to unwind their complicated strategies at once...
...bayonets - but it was that experience, aides say, that convinced him that his party's political survival depended on European guarantees of freedom of expression. As a conservative Muslim, he was well placed to bring traditionalists with him, notes a Turkish diplomat: "It was Nixon who went to China."

He increased the minimum wage, pledged to do the same for pensions, and launched an unprecedented war against the dark side of Spanish machismo, stiffening laws against domestic violence and proposing the legalization of gay marriage and rapid, no-fault divorces. A radical democrat committed to feminism is a major departure for Spanish politics, where the most successful politicians - among them Aznar and his Socialist predecessor, Felipe González - were macho men with killer political instincts. Zapatero's bet is that he can govern effectively and retain power...
