...with Barbie this year, and fondly recalled their childhood memories. "I grew up with Barbie," says Nancy Parsons, 50, president of the Western Pennsylvania Doll Club. "That was my toy. We lived out in the country. My brothers had their G.I. Joes, and I had my Barbie." Parsons put 500 of her dolls on display, only a fraction of her entire fleet. Though every doll is beloved in her collection, over the years, she says, she did sell a few for extra cash, which helped put her sons through college...
...lesson Summers draws from this is that Washington must "insist that reforms be put in place so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated." That makes more sense than singling out Goldman and JPMorgan for being too good at what they do. The question, though, is whether such reforms can actually be enacted. In the past, Goldman and JPMorgan - and the rest of the financial industry - put their highly talented employees to work dismantling any regulation that might get in the way of higher profits.

Put all these witty, rancid voices together and you hear the wail of a depleted nation that has lost nearly every imperial perquisite but the power to call other people idiots, and the skill to carry it off with salacious style...
...Supreme Court takes up the National Reconciliation Ordinance," says Azeem, in a reference to the presidential amnesty. "The Chief Justice has already said that it's a pending matter. It's very significant. If he's going to take it up, it is naturally going to ruffle feathers, to put it lightly." Zardari is already burdened by unpopularity, public anger at power cuts and prices, and the challenges of taming Islamist militancy. If the Supreme Court continues to flex its muscles and revisits the president's old corruption cases, he could find himself in even more trouble than Musharraf seems...
