Interesting stuff. But history has shown that the Fed doesn’t possess the right tools, the right mentality, or the right personnel to consistently stave off bubbles. Over the decades, we’ve seen bubbles come and go—telegraph companies and railroad stocks in the 19th century; stocks and consumer credit in the 1920s; dot-com/telecommunications in the 1990s; and real estate and a proto-bubble in alternative energy in this decade. All have created significant damage, and almost all have left significant good behind, as I’ve argued....

War reporting has always been hazardous, but never more so than now, when the frontiers of combat are so indistinct. Pearl was not actually a war correspondent; he was a roving Paris-based reporter of uncommon talent–among the very best of the new generation–loved for his modest but fun nature, and respected for a witty writing style and a sharp eye for the off-beat stories that make the Journal so good....

Starter Darcy Kuemper left during the second period against the Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final and he did not return for the rest of the series. He appeared to go over to the bench, talk to coach Jared Bednar and leave the ice. The team later announced that he had an upper-body injury and was “doubtful” to return. Backup Pavel Francouz came into the game in relief of Kuemper where he allowed three goals on 21 shots, but was able to help the team secure the win....

It’s certainly true that a lot of what has passed for U.S. Darfur policy in the last three years has been hot air—beginning with Colin Powell’s Sept. 9, 2004, determination that genocide had been committed in Darfur (and may be continuing), immediately followed by his assertion that U.S. government policy would not change. But hot air can make a difference too, when we are dealing with a government in Khartoum that has been on the receiving end of U....

It may not be everyone’s vision of maternal bliss, but for more and more women, single parenthood is not some “alternative” lifestyle.
