Sure, many of Barnicle's columns were moving, enlightening or wickedly on-target, even when we somehow suspected he was fudging the details.

But maybe he can't even admit it to himself...

But Baumohl thinks that the international response will prove convincing.

Cardoso has written the recipe for Brazil's recovery. All he's got to do now is make sure the meal gets cooked...
