...signs were not good. Four major Japanese financial institutions collapsed last month, dragging the value of the yen to a five-year low. The Nikkei stock-market average ricocheted anxiously on every shred of news. The only figures on the rise were those for bankruptcies, unemployment and suicides. National confidence congealed into a deep gloom as headlines warned of the coming "Great Depression."

"Both of these guys are even more partisan, and more explicitly so, than Reed." Putting Reed's torch in such hands suggests the coalition is ready to concentrate on its natural constituency -- white, Protestant, conservative Republicans -- and forget...
