Financial Times - March 31, 2008 Housing slump comes to the Hamptons By Daniel Pimlott in Washington The US housing slump has arrived at the Hamptons, summer playground of the Manhattan elite.

The Long Island resort towns, among the wealthiest and most well- connected in the ...

9351 [lbo-talk] Pat Buchanan on Iraq and Georgia -- rank: 1000

STANLEY CROUCH Hil-Sterical! Author and noted critic-slugger Stanley Crouch, on Hillary Clinton: "On TV, Clinton seems by turns icy, contrived, hysterical, sentimental, bitter, manipulative and self-righteous." Play along at home: which of those adjectives also describe Stanley Crouch? Hint: we don't kn ...
