...worry. The new jitters stem from modestly robust economic figures that suggest a rate increase is in order to slow the economy, and rumors that Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan is leaning that way. So what? Six months ago, Asia was falling apart, and everyone thought the economy would sag so much that the Fed would cut rates.

Both have exposed pipes, but only Starr's are copper; poor starving artists are still artists, after...
...life depend on our competitive edge in the global economy. We cannot rest easy on a large internal market and plentiful national resources. The economy is increasingly global, and it requires us to keep pace. If our students fall behind, we will be unable to compete, our economy will sag, and we will be unable to afford the freedoms and services provided by the government...
