...Experiment, yes, but don't lose sight of core values - and maintain a commitment to openness and market-friendly policies. To shore up a plunging stock market, Hong Kong's government intervened by buying up blue-chip stocks. A decade later, a government that once prided itself as a bastion of the free market still runs a big portfolio of leftover shares and has occasionally meddled in the economy in ways that have confused businesses and the community at large. And while Malaysia's market interventions helped the country through the crisis, the country never recovered the openness and tolerance...
...House Republican caucus that has usually marched in lockstep with Bush or even on Davis; Childers' speeches make it sound as if he's running against a Washington resident named Partisan Bickering.

A bit confused, I headed back to the library where I was studying with Henry J. Flemings ’09, a friend from class whom I questioned about my curious linguistic run-in with Eastspring. “Dude, it?...

The proposal, sponsored by The Committee to Protect Dogs and driven largely by concerns about animal mistreatment, represents a rehash of a ballot question from the 2000 elections that sought to ban dog racing in the state. That initiative failed by a 51 to 49 percent margin. A poll of likely voters conducted last week by Rasmussen Reports, a public opinion polling firm, indicated that 50 percent...
