The civil authorities are trying to fight occupy Wall Street.
Siege warfare, even the gentlest kind, grows bitter in time.
All that I will do is stand back and nurse the wounded.
Government must promote the general welfare.
Individual interests must not run the affairs of state to the detriment of the whole.

Artists Offer 'Day Without Art' to Focus on AIDS - The New York Times
“Artists Offer 'Day Without Art' to Focus on AIDS - The New York Times - http://bit.ly/2hhPzb”No. This is not a good idea. AIDS threatens everyone.Art has no special claim or responsibility in relation to it.Better to declare a day without religion to concentrate on AIDS.http://keithharingfoundationarchives.wordpress.com/His work is "art". I have never had much doubt about that.I react badly to it.Things are not much improved by drawing on their surface.Making a drawing does not improve the paper. Here the drawing, which is a thing in itself, communicates viscerally about the draftsman. I do not want it on my wall.

Artists Offer 'Day Without Art' to Focus on AIDS - The New York Times
“Artists Offer 'Day Without Art' to Focus on AIDS - The New York Times - http://bit.ly/2hhPzb”Art always has the pox of the time.Hiding the art does not draw attention to the pox.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masque_of_the_Red_DeathThe 'red death' has not visited me. Luck more than planing.I have been leading a low risk life for decades.

Death Toll in N.Y. Bus Crash Reaches 15
I've taken the buses from Chinatown to Albany and vice-versa many times, and I've always observed the drivers to be alert and competent, although they do drive quite fast. The bus company I use does not permit its drivers to work 20 to 22 hours a shift, as a previous e-mailer claimed, but there is another problem mentioned by writer #1 and questioned by writer #3 which might be, I think, closer to the core of the tragic incident. Every bus driver, on every one of the Chinatown buses I have taken in the past 3 or 4 years, has received many phone calls during the ride. On several occasions when I told the driver that talking on cellphones while driving was against NYS law, his response was that it was his company calling to find out where he was and to make sure that he would arrive at his destination on time. I fear that pressure to make sure that he didn't arrive late, coupled with the possible distraction of a phone call from the office, may have diverted the driver's attention from the job at hand, to tragic consequences.The writer is speculating. We could know.Still, driving long distances is a good reason to reduce communication. Be safe. As soon as you can is best.

Does IMF Stand for Impressive Macroeconomic Flexibility?
So the IMF is holding a meeting on rethinking macroeconomic policy (I was invited but couldn’t make the timing work.) And the Fund’s chief economist has already made it clear that he’s open to some serious revision of the prevailing paradigm.

Though the vote passed by a comfortable margin Wednesday, the unity of the coalition, which must secure crucial rescue funding and save the country from default, appeared tenuous.No screaming headlines.I expect the markets may feel better in the morning.Currency controls have not gone on yet.The hole is deeper today.
