That new approach was on display in the Senate as Bernanke answered questions with a level of precision unknown during Greenspan's 18-year tenure. Greenspan had become famous for long, convoluted answers that could stop time but only rarely ("irrational exuberance") ruffled the markets. Asked about the nation's blooming deficit, Bernanke answered crystal clearly, "Deficits matter because they represent additions to debt that our children and grandchildren will either have to pay through higher taxes or reduced services."

...called Road Map to Peace proposed by the U.S. is a road map to an unknown destination, which intensifies the suspicion of those who are supposed to travel on it and makes each side reluctant to fulfill even its basic initial requirements: the Palestinians to dismantle the terrorist networks; the Israelis to stop construction of the settlements altogether.

After he started out a year ago with a huge lead in both the polls and fundraising over his relatively unknown opponent, Reed's connection to the Jack Abramoff congressional lobbying scandal unmasked the candidate who built his career on the issue of values as one who apparently had his own questionable values. And so it was that Tuesday Reed lost both his party and his religious conservative base in a humbling Republican...
