...couldn't help drawing parallels between America's First Lady enthusiastically organizing an evening in Washington where successful women could mingle with girls to help support the aspirations and diverse potential of a small segment of America's youth, and the private parties reported to have been hosted by Italy's Prime Minister Berlusconi, where young Italian women were encouraged to sing and dance, grooming them for a career in show business, or maybe politics. After all, what's the difference? Makes you wonder what is to become of Italy's young female population. Catherine Minciotti, MONTEFIASCONE, ITALY...

A cute little chimney vents smoke from the middle. The "gravity...
...prism through which she sees every economic indicator. It is also the driving force behind her work with the oversight panel. The first two reports it issued, in December and January, criticized Paulson's department for its lack of transparency and argued that its policies were doing little to help reduce home foreclosures or alleviate stress on families. Even if accurate, those early pronouncements did not help to pave the way to a functional working relationship between Warren and the people she was supposed to oversee. Former Treasury officials seem to despise her and complain that Warren is only trying...
