Where, might you ask, does demand and supply of the commodity come into play? Maybe in an economics textbook somewhere. Perhaps the credit crisis will slow demand somewhat, but certainly not enough to split the price in half. True, recession may be upon us, and that might help justify lower oil prices, but that fear is not the real story behind the fall. Remember: it was not great prosperity that doubled the price...
Joseph Loconte, visiting professor at Pepperdine University and a former Heritage Foundation fellow, suggests that you find a church that is actively engaged with struggling local communities. That can be surprisingly hard to find here, where a number of affluent churches choose to remain somewhat isolated from their urban surroundings. Loconte thinks that the nondenominational Washington Community Fellowship on Capitol Hill has the right orientation.

The sounds of cheering Obama fans at the Election Night Party in the adjacent JFK Jr. Forum are only somewhat muted. But the prospects of an upset grow dimmer as the projection screen in front of the room reports one blue state after another. For Colin J. Motley ’10, President of the HRC, the tendency of exit polls to exaggerate offers some hope, but overall things...
