...President, of all people, should know how difficult it is to take care of basic things like, say, prescription drugs for the elderly or shelter from the storm-especially if your government places a low priority on the efficient provision of public services and a high priority on the care and feeding of cronies (as Fatah did in Palestine). Bush's global-democracy, uhhh, crusade, is yet another triumph of spin over substance, a broad-brush carelessness that feeds off emotional election-day highs, flag waving and freedom rallies across the region but which has led, in every case...
...Right now, the translation is Takafumi Horie, 33, the CEO of Livedoor, the company at the center of the storm. One of Livedoor?s subsidiaries is alleged to have provided false financial information in order to boost its stock price artificially; and a Monday night raid by investigators on Livedoor offices and the homes of its executives precipitated the stock market swoon.

That equation is shifting. Production in the U.S. has slipped, down an estimated 5% in 2005, largely but not entirely because of storm damage to facilities in the Gulf. Meanwhile, Canada is consuming more of the gas it produces, leaving less to export. In short, we aren't getting enough gas to meet demand--a combustible formula for high prices...
...jazz center near the French Quarter. There would be charter schools instead of slum schools, a streamlined city government and, most important, rebuilt levees. But that "audacious" action plan laid out last week by Mayor Ray Nagin's 17-member Bring New Orleans Back Commission has met with a storm of controversy, not just from residents of the poor Ninth Ward but also from wealthier and whiter areas like Lakeview. Homeowners are infuriated by a recommendation to halt rebuilding--indeed, to stop issuing permits--for four months, until May 20, in the worst-hit neighborhoods. Joe Canizaro, the millionaire developer...
