...will all these layoffs in the financial sector engender a wave of clinical depression? Morgan says it's too soon to tell: it depends on how long people remain unemployed. A full-blown recession lasting three or four years or longer would be cause for concern. Morgan cites increased rates of depression and suicide in British cities that relied on steel and coal manufacturing in the mid-1980s, when factories started shutting down permanently. And the suddenness of the current crash doesn't make things easier. Former Lehman Brothers employees, he says, "have some emotional catching up to do," because...
...When the actual joblessness arrives, there's a period of euphoria - especially for people with compensation packages.

Meanwhile, hopelessness at Harvard is diffuse, displaced but ever-present; the drive that superficially characterizes our student body seems only to be encouraged by subterranean seams...

At the time, Mugabe said Zimbabweans had made a "mistake," and his security forces unleashed a wave of repression that left close to 200 M.D.C. supporters dead. The violence prompted Tsvangirai to withdraw from a second round of presidential elections, which Mugabe won - only to announce on his inauguration that he wanted to share power with the MDC. He then appeared to back-track on that promise before...
