...logic for closer Asian economic integration is becoming more compelling as intraregional trade becomes more important when compared with Asia's trade with the West. According to HSBC, the share of Asia's exports to the U.S. and Europe declined to 30% of the regional total in 2008, down from nearly 40% in 1998.

But that logic is increasingly hard to hear in the aftermath of Major Nidal Hasan's killing spree at Fort Hood in Texas...
...home. “We added this on to the house when we had our third child,” Mankiw says. “This on the table is a game called ‘Cathedral.’ It’s one of those logic puzzle games. I was a chess player growing up, but no I’ve never played the chess master at ABP.” A giant plasma television rests against one wall showing that the Mankiws don’t only enjoy books and logic games, but also kicking back...
