David Brooks’ is a rare voice of reason and common sense at that graying lady of American newspapers, The New York Times. It was disappointing, then, to see Brooks make a major mistake in one of his recent columns, a generally solid piece giving advice and guidance to college students present and future. The New York Times’ conservative made a mistake not in arguing that students should take a course in ancient Greece, read Plato, or learn a foreign language. These are suggestions so obviously beneficial as to be immune from all but the most unhinged...
Arizona has grown through a careful combination of solid value pricing, attractive packaging and a steady stream of new products.

Now we have five slots where everyone’s really competitive and contributing. Even deep into the team we have stronger players than ever before.” Rooney and junior Erin Wilson had the highest spots with 41st and 51st place finishes. The second place score allows...
...confidence is at its highest in four years, and the business climate index - a measure of how optimistic businesses are about the future - last week reached its highest level since German reunification. The reason for all this good cheer? Columnists call it the Merkel Factor. It was even given solid form on floats at the annual Carnival parade in Cologne. Last year, a vast, papier-mâché Merkel bent over to kiss the bottom of a George W. Bush figure; this year she had undergone a makeover into a motherly barkeeper, huge breasts enveloping her coalition partner, apparently...
