• Glenn Beck The fusion of television and enlightenment.  In other words, not to be believed by seriously thinking people.  He discusses civil unrest.as only Beck can deny realities.  He says the only people he trusts are in the military but that they are boxed in by the people having their hands on the power.  He says the media will demonize and glorify whom they want.
• The legacy of Larry Summers: 
  FOR two years the Obama Administration’s economic policy has been caricatured from the right as an invasive expansion of government and from the left as a cowardly capitulation to Wall Street free market fundamentalism.  How can it be both things at once?
