...Baekeland and others aiming to find commercial opportunities in the nascent electrical industry, that gunk was a signpost pointing toward something great. The challenge for Baekeland and his rivals was to find some set of conditions--some slippery ratio of ingredients and heat and pressure--that would yield a more workable, shellac-like substance. Ideally it would be something that would dissolve in solvents to make insulating varnishes and yet be as moldable as rubber. Starting around 1904, Baekeland and an assistant began their search. Three years later, after filling laboratory books with page after page of failed experiments, Baekeland...
...something happened to the risk perception of these two competing instruments: they switched. Bonds ceased to yield double digits and then even high single digits. At the same time, huge budget deficits, now seemingly a thing of the past, created an impression that the guarantee of repayment was really more of a touchy-feely promise rather than a bond etched in stone...

In fact, the T-bond yield fell to 5.59% Friday. Still, we have to live with bond traders' anxieties, and for now that means higher mortgage and other...
