...largest manufacturer. Exports are at an all-time high, both in dollar terms ($1.6 trillion in 2007) and as a percentage of GDP (11.8%). It's just that imports have grown much faster over the years. The U.S. has continued to run surpluses in some high-tech, high-price-tag categories--aircraft, specialized industrial machines--and in agricultural commodities. It's in consumer goods--clothing, TVs, cars--that the big deficits show...

Ever since Obama said he was willing to negotiate with those enemies directly and "without precondition," Republicans have been trying to tag him as the son of the Georgia governor...

...Mars Phoenix is just the latest in a small fleet of relatively inexpensive spacecraft (a few hundred million dollars apiece, which is tag-sale prices by spaceship standards) NASA has launched toward Mars in the last dozen years.

TV doctors and lawyers don't talk salary--they, like many upper-middle-class professionals, can take comfort and stability relatively for granted. But here, everything is denominated in dollar terms. You hear the price tag whenever a saw gets lost ($1,000) or a pipe gets jammed ($50,000) or a worker calls in sick ($1,000 an hour in company revenue). Economic risk is as ever present as the physical danger, and--by pushing workers to go faster and harder--one feeds the other...
