...Cliff Kupchan of risk consultancy Eurasia Group in Washington. Government officials are "digging a deeper hole, spending money they do not have," Kupchan says. Last November, 60 Iranian economists sent Ahmadinejad a letter warning him that his policies threatened economic ruin. "We have nothing because Mr. Ahmadinejad has spent it all," says Leylaz, who did not sign the letter, though he is a fierce critic of the President. "Mr. Ahmadinejad's economic policy has an absolute lack of financial discipline. His priority is making people satisfied now, not to have money for the future...

I also think Kenzer spent a lot of time at brunch talking to Cassandra, who's a little obsessed with making our baby special. I'm just hoping that he isn't so special that he's psychic. Because as nice as Kenzer is, I don't want my son burdened with this much information...
...early 1990s, she became the first researcher to conduct a randomized study on the treatment of borderline personality disorder. The trial - which showed that a treatment she created called "dialectical behavior therapy" significantly reduced borderlines' tendency to hurt themselves as well as the number of days they spent as inpatients - astonished a field that had come to see borderlines as hopeless...
