...laughter, of course, did not fit the occasion, the latest in a seemingly endless stream of public events at which Washington's political leaders work themselves into high dudgeon over the sins of financial wizards who, we are told over and over again, have messed up the world for everyone else. But then, you can act outraged about the same thing only so many times before it all starts to sound stale. These spectacles, the public rhetorical floggings, have become teleplays, as predictable as a daytime soap opera, as comforting as a wet rock. (See pictures...

For a while, a mini-cottage industry arose around posthumous books by Ernest Hemingway - bullfighting tome The Dangerous Summer, Parisian memoir A Moveable Feast and novels Islands in the Stream and The Garden of Eden. Papa Hemingway's pal F.
