...Bluford Putnam, president of CDC Investment Management Corp., the U.S. subsidiary of a giant French-based money-management concern, Caisse des Depots et Consignations, strongly disagrees. His scenario: the countries of "Euroland," as the 11-nation currency bloc is being called, will focus more than ever on pumping up their domestic economies, which are suffering from slow growth and high unemployment. Though the new European Central Bank will officially be independent of any national government, political leaders of the 11 countries will be pressing the bank to lower interest rates and keep them down, in coordination with the U.S. Federal...
...reign at the forefront of classic dramatic literature.

And the film may have overestimated its hold on a few core constituencies. At a screening last week, a child sobbed as the monkeys stole Dil; a mother checked...
...Mark Thompson. "The nuclear threat to the U.S. is more likely to come from rogue elements or terrorists bringing in a device on a cabin cruiser or a Piper Cub than from another country firing intercontinental ballistic missiles. And maintaining a nuclear deterrent doesn't protect us from that scenario." Besides, waiting for the Russians would force the Pentagon to spend hundreds of millions of dollars maintaining weapons systems that will be scrapped as soon as the agreement is endorsed...
