...once stopped in the middle of having sex and made her boyfriend get a condom because in my books, I always write about the importance of protection. And I've had more women than I can count tell me that they've left abusive relationships because my character Anita wouldn't take it. I take great pride in that...
...that wouldn't be the end of it. In November 2002, during his first stint on the Fed - as a mere member of the board, not the chairman - Bernanke gave a now somewhat infamous speech about what central banks could do to fend off deflation even after short-term interest rates hit zero.

Washington veterans agree that McCain's conservative ideas for tax cuts and health-care reform wouldn't stand a chance in a Democratic Congress. But he might enlist enough swing-district Democrats - whose hold on their seats is tenuous - to join congressional Republicans in a grand compromise between the spenders on Capitol Hill and the tax cutters in the White House...
