I think when you have lawyers arguing over whether you can keep a detainee at 46 degrees... for two hours, that's not torture. It may be unpleasant, it may be coercive... but let's say what torture actually is, and that's not it.

- Nov 07, 2020
The market always, in theory at least, looks ahead. And it's always trying to take in every bit of information that it can as quickly as it can. You don't really care so much if the company made a dollar last year; you want to know what it's going to make this year.

Studies show that Avastin can prolong the lives of patients with late-stage breast and lung cancer by several months when the drug is combined with existing therapies.

For more than two decades, Barry Diller has been among the most respected - and feared - figures in the entertainment industry.
- Fundamental Principles
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's one of the fundamental principles of the stock market: When interest rates go up, stocks go down. And along with financial companies and cyclicals, technology companies - with their sky-high price-to-earnings multiples - should be among the biggest losers in an environment of rising rates.
- Hurt

- Edward
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a spy novelist like me, the Edward J. Snowden story has everything. A man driven by ego and idealism - can anyone ever distinguish the two? - leaves his job and his beautiful girlfriend behind. He must tell the world the Panopticon has arrived. His masters vow to punish him, and he heads for Moscow in a desperate search for refuge.
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mr. Snowden did not start out as a spy, and calling him one bends the term past recognition. Spies don't give their secrets to journalists for free.
- Chance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Did anyone in the White House or the N.S.A or the C.I.A. consider flying to Hong Kong and treating Mr. Snowden like a human being, offering him a chance to testify before Congress and a fair trial?

- Nov 07, 2020
For years, critics of Fannie Mae have warned that it does not give them enough information to judge its risks.
- Explicitly
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fannie Mae is owned by shareholders but operates under a federal charter that exempts it from paying state or local taxes.

- Money
- |

- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

The world is filled with great sporting events.
- Forget
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sochi started with the same problem as every Winter Olympics. Forget the crass commercialism, the fake amateurism, NBC's refusal to televise important events live to all its viewers. As an event, the Winter Games fail on the most basic level. They're lousy to watch.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Economists
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To economists, prices serve as crucial signals to producers and consumers. In a regulated market, the state sets prices high enough for private companies to cover their costs and earn a guaranteed profit for their investors. But in a deregulated market, prices should vary with demand and supply.
- Internet
- |

Economics pretends to be a science. Its practitioners fill blackboards with equations and clog computers with data. But it is really a faith, or more accurately a set of overlapping and squabbling faiths, each with its own doctrines.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Medicine
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics is a bit like the difference between biology and medicine. Knowing that certain genes increase the risk of cancer is relatively easy. Figuring out exactly which people will get sick, or how to cure them, is a lot more complicated.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Fed's ability to raise and lower short-term interest rates is its primary control over the economy.
