...Have events in general gone better or worse than most people would have predicted on Sept. 12, 2001? There's been no successful second attack here in the U.S.--and very limited terrorist successes in Europe or even in the Middle East. We've had 5 1/2 years of robust economic growth, low unemployment and a stock-market recovery. Social indicators in the U.S. are mostly stable or improving--abortions, teenage births and teenage drug use are down and education scores are up a bit.

Cargill's strength has turned Beardstown into, if not a boomtown, at least a place that investors are paying attention to. And the town is leading its pitch...
...lower than those reported at Harvard’s peer institutions in recent years. In a report on its Class of 2006 seniors, Princeton reported a 48 percent jobless rate among graduates heading into the workforce. The job market that unemployed seniors face this summer, however, is significantly more robust than last year’s. The 2007 National Association of Colleges and Employers survey, which polls businesses about their hiring plans, reports that employers plan to hire 17.4 percent more new college graduates this year than they did last year. Over one-quarter of respondents plan to live...
