...America now faces the direst employment landscape since the Depression. It's troubling not simply for its sheer scale but also because the labor market, shaped by globalization and technology and financial meltdown, may be fundamentally different from anything we've seen before. And if the result is that we're stuck with persistent 9%-to-11% unemployment for a while - a range whose mathematical congruence with that other 9/11 is impossible to miss - we may be looking at a problem that will define the first term of Barack Obama's presidency the way the original 9/11 defined George...
...directed by the Mexican screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga, is the latest work to remind us that art and alchemy are not so different. At the risk of seeming to gush, no description will do the film justice. In both script and direction, Arriaga reaches for many familiar ingredients. But the result this time is different.

After all, Clinton got virtually the identical result the day after he gave a similar speech on his own health-care plan in that same spot 16 years ago. It turned out to be the high-water mark for an initiative that spent the next year in a drawn-out death spiral and that proved...
...safe country to study and work in, though he adds many Australians have yet to adapt to the reality that the formerly white nation has become a diverse, multicultural society. Luthra believes the Indian media went overboard in emphasizing the racial motivation of the assaults, and as a result, "Australia has picked up a tag as a racist country in India." That perception has further damaged a relationship already strained by the fallout over the Mohamed Haneef incident, in which an Indian physician was wrongly accused of aiding terrorists, and the acrimonious Sydney Cricket Test last year, in which opposing...
