Conde Nast Puts Its Money Where Its Mouth Is Written By: Jack Hudson 2008-04-01 11:51:27 A policy shift at Conde Nast is the second of my three aspirational and fictional ideas that are (relatively) cheap, that would make concrete environmental gains, that could be accomplished almost instantaneously by motivated people in positions of power (by phone calls, in two cases), and that would immediately set an agenda for the next election.

Bruce said it best when he wrote the song, "One Step Up," bewailing the fact that we humans don’t seem to be able to learn even from the hard lessons, creating a history that is almost consistently one step up and two steps back.
Dollar Rebound in 2008: A Fairy Tale? Written By: Eben Esterhuizen 2008-03-11 00:49:03
Several analysts expect the U.S. dollar to rebound in the second half of the year. A slowing U.S. economy always affects the rest of the world with a delay, they say, and most of the bad news may already be priced into the greenback. "For Euroland, historically, the delay has been one or two quarters," notes Stephen Roach at Morgan Stanley. Analysts like Mr. Roach argue that central banks that proactively cut rates to bolster growth (like the Fed) will now see their currencies rally, and central banks that don't cut rates will see their currencies weaken. The implication here is that investors will move money away from yield and turn their focus to areas of growth. Going by this logic, the U.S. dollar should benefit from the Fed's amplified focus on growth.
