...known the character-building advantages of defeat. I've developed enough character to last the rest of my life, with some left over to give to any character-challenged New York fans out there. A Massachusetts girl said it best: "Success is counted sweetest/ By those who ne'er succeed." Emily Dickinson would have been a Red Sox fan. John B. Holway Springfield...
...Jessica Reif Cohen. She calls the stock grossly undervalued. News recently left Australia to incorporate in the U.S., where it will be added to the prestigious S&P 500 stock index next month. That's giving it a boost. But Murdoch's plan for his two thirtysomething sons to succeed him remains a drag on the stock.

The absence of a credible alternative to Abbas could also embolden the militant group Hamas to attempt to derail his election by attacking Israel. "There is a real sense that this is a moment...
...this week at the IAEA, where Iran's recent steps have averted a crisis, but the U.S. wants to ensure compliance with the no-enrichment deal by inserting a clause that would trigger UN Security Council action if Iraq is found non-compliant. The Bush administration is unlikely to succeed, however, in getting Iran raked over the coals at the Security Council, or threatened with sanctions, for a number of reasons. Some are simply commercial: China, which has veto power at the Security Council, is fast emerging as the leading buyer of Iran's oil and natural gas exports...
