Image consultants and p.r. managers, who are professionally optimistic, say it's possible for him to rehabilitate his public image, but it won't be easy. First up, he has to come totally clean, and he has to do so in front of a camera. On Jan. 21, just shy of Quinn Hunter's second birthday, Edwards finally issued a statement that copped to his being her father. "It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter, and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me," the press release said. Nuh-uh. For a doozy...
Tsvangirai is probably trying to avoid a repeat of the 2008 presidential and parliamentary elections. The MDC leader claimed victory in the poll, but a government electoral body said that he hadn't won enough votes to avoid a run-off. Security forces under Mugabe's control then allegedly unleashed a series of vicious attacks on MDC members, leaving some 100 people dead and causing Tsvangirai to drop out of the run-off days before the vote.

"Only 20% of [mutual-fund] portfolio managers actually beat the index that they're tracking," says John Spallanzani, director of ETF sales and strategy at GFI Group. "So if you put your money in an ETF, you're basically beating 80% of the mutual-fund managers out there." ETFs are also more liquid than mutual funds, because they can be bought, sold or shorted throughout the trading...
...really a good deal? After all, you're still spending a little more than half of the purchase price of a new copy of Principles of Economics for one that you won't be able to resell (or for the right to look at a digital version on your tiny laptop screen for a year). Maybe, if you don't mind using an older edition, you should go with the old-fashioned used book route: we found a copy of the fourth edition on AbeBooks for about...
