...other words, this can't go on forever. Greenspan has since delivered this message repeatedly, but markets paid no attention. Until, suddenly, they did. In a speech and question-and-answer session simulcast from Washington to conferences in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore on Feb. 26, the former Fed boss repeated his concerns about risk and mentioned in passing that a recession was "possible" in the U.S. later this year...
Recording his city's rich architectural heritage has been a demoralizing task for Shanghainese photographer Deke Erh. While Art Deco buildings in Miami, New Zealand's Napier and even the Eritrean town of Asmara are lovingly tended, Shanghai has demolished scores of equally historic structures in its headlong rush for modernity. "I've been taking photographs of old Shanghai for 20 years, and I've continually seen these things torn down," says Erh. "But I still have hope. Even today, Shanghai has more Art Deco buildings than any other city in the world. If I didn't have hope...
...forces and sensory overload of a first-time astronaut--like how to puke in space. They debated who would be the first paying customers. The hedge-fund honcho from California?

Notwithstanding the many contributions the U.S. has made to the world, some say New Zealand was the first true democracy since it was the first nation to enfranchise women. Others use as a criterion the first election of parliament members (Iceland in A.D. 930). Some would ask, If the oldest democracy is not to be found somewhere in ancient Greece, why did the word first...
...book will think that is the alternative to being on drugs." And is it? No-at least it needn't be. Specialists in psychotherapy, or talking therapy, say Braydle's style was not only uncommon and wrongheaded but amounts to malpractice. The code of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists forbids not only sex with patients but "any behavior which might be reasonably interpreted by a patient as demeaning or as a sexual advance." Psychiatry will never rid itself entirely of practitioners who use talking therapy to satisfy voyeuristic urges, but it doesn't want to lose...
