...real estate too. Hamptons realty agent Rick Hoffman of Corcoran says his market usually gets an infusion of Wall Street money this time of year - thanks to the bonus payouts - but he isn't expecting a pickup in slow sales anytime soon. He says he is seeing the weakest prices in years on the east end of Long Island, where Wall Streeters have traditionally bought their weekend homes. For example, last week a seller dropped the price on a five-bedroom, 6 1/2-bath, 7,000-sq.-ft. home, located on an acre of land, to just under $3.3 million, down...
...sacrifices they will need to make during this economic free fall [Oct. 20]. But it is clear that such truth-telling is not what the American people want to hear, nor does such directness help the candidate during an election campaign.

Or the goal of completely reorganizing the way the U.S. manages health care.

The eight-minute U.S. Helicopter flight is free for business- and first-class customers; the offer is good on all tickets purchased between...
...might sound like good news that so much opium has disappeared from the world drug market, but Costa believes the missing opium is a potential time bomb, and many law-enforcement officials agree. That's because the Taliban is believed to be "stockpiling to control the prices," says a spokesman for Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency, who confirmed that NATO forces have uncovered Taliban stockpiles of opium. Despite the bumper opium harvests, the street price of heroin remains a costly $67 per g in European cities, and the price Afghan farmers charge for their opium has remained about...
