...incarnate, a madman, an easy target for parody (indeed, Brooks borrows heavily from Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator and Ernst Lubitsch's 1942 To Be or Not to Be). But whenever anyone in Germany tries to poke fun at him, the same discussion erupts about taboos and having respect for the weight of history and national guilt...
...this a sigh-of-relief rally, or is something positive going on with respect to the longer-term earnings potential of financials? I don't think this rally has much to do with the longer-term earnings potential of these companies. I think the move in financials, mostly over the last four to six weeks, is primarily a sigh of relief. To be more precise, it's about institutional investors repositioning themselves in these stocks.

While his peers act as if being plucked from obscurity to sing in prime time is normal, he understands that he's on a television show, where acting normally would be completely abnormal...
...recognize that we are in a recession. We are prepared to say goodbye to hot breakfast and farewell to the Quad Library. Where unnecessary spending is taking place, we respect the administration’s decision to make cuts. However, the cost of ensuring Harvard students’ safety is not “unnecessary spending.” Student safety should never be a bullet point between “Scan and Deliver Service” and “Telecommunications Management” on a list of “cost saving measures.” While...
