...only worrisome part about that is what happens if demand then falters. Nationwide, we've seen an uptick in the number of people buying houses - both existing homes and new ones. But still, according to the Oppenheimer report, "the demand side of the equation is less than impressive."

A lieutenant who has served six years in the border guards said he had not seen any attacks with...
