...Tony Blair stripe. He's called in on this rush job because the previous ghost, Mike McAra, has died suddenly. Joining the ex-P.M. in a remote enclave on Martha's Vineyard, he is drawn into a controversy involving Lang's possible approval of torture on terror suspects. Soon, he thinks that McAra may have been murdered, and that he could be next. One of his sources snorts at this theory - "He can't drown two ghost writers. You're not kittens" - but later that source is also found dead. (See the 25 best horror films of all time...
...their payments spike, thanks to caps on negative amortization - that is, a loan balance that grows, instead of shrinks, over time. In its report, Amherst dissected one such loan, which was written in 2007 for $465,000 over 40 years. A minimum monthly payment that started at $1,260 soon rose to $1,354 and then to $2,806, more than twice the original amount. The borrower quickly defaulted.

Wrong answer. And not merely because the Islamic participants in Doha were hoping for something more concrete. It was wrong because it demonstrated the chronic weakness of Obama's Middle East strategy. As soon as he was inaugurated, the President went directly for the big prize: a comprehensive two-state solution. But the timing was lousy. The Israelis had just elected a right-wing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, whose coalition partners were vehemently opposed to negotiations. The Palestinians were fiercely divided between Fatah, which controls the West Bank, and the more militant Hamas. U.S. envoy George Mitchell's slow...
