“A long time ago in a country far, far away, America had less of everything and holidays were easier and more modest.” And more memorable. “These memories came with a declared or implied, ‘We didn’t have much, but . . .’ And this was said not with resentment or self pity but a kind of pride and wistfulness.”

“Economic fundamentals today are no different than they were before the market took a walk on the wild side.” The U.S. economy is “growing at 2.5 percent. At that modest pace, the United States cannot be of much help if other economies falter. But it can rebound from a market swoon, at least for now.”
