...disappointed that Wachovia won't remain independent but I believe the strength and stability of having Wells Fargo as a partner will be better in the long run," says Michael Smith of Charlotte Center City Partners.

...lite scientists could simply solve climate change on their own, public misunderstanding wouldn't be such a problem. But they can't. Reducing carbon emissions sharply will require all 6.5 billion (and growing) of us on the planet to hugely change the way we use energy and travel. We'll also need to change the way we vote, rewarding politicians willing to make the tough choices on climate.

The economy, meanwhile, is in a perilous state, with inflation running rampant, the currency having lost a third of its value, and foreign currency reserves reduced to the point that they can finance no more than six weeks of imports...
...such circumstances. Perhaps in future it would be better if all involved accepted the age old adage that private parties are just that," wrote Rothschild. His letter and a further statement helped one friend, Mandelson, at the expense of another, Osborne. "If this was just about integrity, Nat[haniel] wouldn't have done it," says a member of the financier's circle. "I don't think he realized the storm he was going to create, but there's more to this than meets the eye." As Britain sinks into a gloomy winter, the promise of new revelations should at least...
