...chaos: All at once, somebody searching for space covers the bottom third of another poster, obscuring the date and location of the Glassblowing Society’s first meeting. The wounded party shoots an angry glance at the offender. Perhaps the fight will break out into outright poster defacing, silent and malicious, or perhaps the infraction will be allowed to pass...
...after that? Think the unthinkable. On Sept. 18, Paulson and Bernanke laid out the dark scenario for stunned-silent congressional leaders: a stock-market crash, businesses going under, unemployment soaring, consumers unable to get so much as a car loan, banks failing so fast that they would quickly drain the federal deposit insurance fund--and with it, countless people's life savings.

Jacobsen concludes that a return to simpler times - for example, before honey bees were...

House revolves mainly around the shaky marriage between Teddy Platt (David Haig), the estate's owner, and his wife Trish (Jane Asher), who is giving him the silent treatment after discovering his affair with next-door neighbor Joanna (Sian Thomas). Teddy is desperate to patch things up before a prominent, politically connected writer arrives for lunch, presumably to urge him to run for Parliament. In Garden, we see Teddy ham-handedly break off his affair with Joanna...
