...that depended on Lehman's largesse. Indeed, as the financial crisis takes down some of the richest houses on Wall Street, the effects will ripple out to the charities that rely on them and serve the poorest in America's big cities and the rest of the world. The stock-market crash has already damaged the endowments of big foundations, universities and hospitals, while charitable giving from ordinary citizens seems to have decreased out of financial fear...

Britain announced a similar plan to shore up shaky banks by helping them refinance debt in exchange for ownership stakes. That move toward partial nationalization of the banking system underscores just how deep - and how apparently uncontrollable - the financial panic has become. With few tools left...
