...Swedish experts caution that the Swedish financial system is relatively small compared to the U.S. In 1992 most leading government officials knew the bank chiefs on a first name basis. Still, the Swedish experience could hold other lessons, says Robert Bergquist, chief analyst at SEB, one of Sweden's largest banks. "The Swedish success depended on four factors," he explains. Stockholm acted quickly, in open acknowledgement of the problems, and under a broad political agreement across the party spectrum. "Running parallel with these three factors," he says, "a new economic policy - new goals for inflation and the budget - was developed...
...University President Drew G. Faust announced yesterday. The event will formally launch a greenhouse gas reduction initiative—first announced in June—which aims to reduce Harvard’s greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent below 2008 levels by 2016. The target came as the chief recommendation in the report of the oft-touted Greenhouse Gas Task Force, which Faust convened last winter. Gore grabbed the national spotlight with his Oscar award-winning documentary on global warming—An Inconvenient Truth—and went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts...

One of them is how to respond to the worsening financial crisis that threatens to cripple the American economy. But the other is which would-be commander-in-chief can use the next four years to ensure that what’s past is not prologue. We should not ignore the second question in our eagerness to address the first. It might be useful to have Senators John McCain and Barack Obama in Washington this weekend to wrangle over...
...consensus candidate - a singular achievement in a party largely bereft of consensus. Motlanthe appears set to take the reins from Thabo Mbeki, whose resignation was demanded by the ruling party after a judge accused Mbeki's government of improperly interfering in the prosecution on corruption charges of his chief rival, Jacob Zuma. Zuma, who beat out Mbeki in a bitterly-fought campaign for leadership of the ANC last December, can't assume the presidency until next year's elections because he's not a member of the legislature. But he'll be happy to have the seat kept warm...
