...Having steered clear of the recent furor over President Obama's release of the so-called torture memos, the former Secretary of State weighed in with two public pronouncements in quick succession.

On the other hand, a slowing in the pace of decline during a recession has in the past almost invariably segued into the end of that decline, recession maven Lakshman Achuthan of the Economic Cycle Research Institute said...
