...Hatoyama is not explaining this U-turn very well - nor is his message consistent. For example, he has indicated that, in the interest of fiscal responsibility, he may toss overboard some of the $77 billion in programs that the DPJ offered to increase household disposable income. The purpose of this spending is to help shift Japan from an export-led economic model to one led by consumption. During the country's 2002-07 recovery, fully one-third of GDP growth was attributable to a rising trade surplus. As the severity of Japan's current recession showed, this...

"We will not turn away any student who is qualified to come here," says U of D principal Gary Marando...
Behind each twist and turn of last year's financial crisis was a small club of (mostly) men--many of them friends, plenty more rivals--who determined, often by the seat of their pants, how events would unfold. In Too Big to Fail, Sorkin, a New York Times reporter, takes us inside the cozy world of Wall Street chieftains and their Washington alter egos. Why did the U.S. Treasury Department ask Congress for $700 billion in bank-bailout funds? Because $500 billion felt too small and $1 trillion politically impossible; one staffer, charged with justifying the figure, laughed...
