...sits there. I have it, I wish I could find the time to play. It was a pretty good escape, and I don't have the equivalent escape now. My hope is to get my daughter interested...
...Gaza, of whom Israel claims to have killed no more than 2.5% so far.) That would force Israel to reoccupy a territory from which it sought to separate in 2005. Still, Israeli leaders hope the military operation can deal a powerful enough blow to hobble Hamas. They still wish to see Abbas' authority reimposed as part of any truce. More realistically, perhaps, Arab mediators and the U.N. Security Council have urged that cease-fire plans restore reconciliation between Abbas and Hamas. Arab countries had previously brokered a national-unity government between the two, and Hamas remains the ruling party...
...emotional bond with those he will lead. Will he denounce Bernard Madoff and the modern money changers? Confident enough to be gracious, the President-elect has been much more forthcoming about his economic agenda than the deliberately opaque F.D.R. As for the outgoing President, George W.

...ideal focus of infrastructure spending would be green projects that help reduce our addiction to fossil fuels, but there's only so much of that ready to go. Nathaniel Keohane of the Environmental Defense Fund started ticking off his wish list in an interview: $1 billion for homeowners to install energy-efficient windows, $750 million for truckers to use fuel-efficient equipment, $600 million for smart boiler controls. "Still $998 billion to go," he said with a sigh. "Really, I spent time on this, and it's a reach to get to $100 billion." Obama and his team are starting...
...will be tempting for Obama to let Congress and the states fill the gaps with their own wish lists. But as Obama adviser Larry Summers has warned, a poorly designed stimulus "can have worse side effects than the disease that is to be cured." Handouts for clean coal, ethanol and other misguided energy technologies would be worse than inaction. With apologies to Keynes, incentives to "build houses and the like" could help inflate the same bubble that burst last year. And infrastructure spending has been one area where Congress has consistently exhibited an impressive bipartisan determination to do the wrong...
