Consider, if you will, the stock market’s big ups and downs lately–especially last week. No, I’m not talking about the way technology stocks cratered, then came roaring back. Rather, I’m talking about “value” investing. Less than a month ago value investing–buying beaten-down stocks that are selling cheaply relative to their profits and asset values–seemed to have about as much life as the passenger pigeon, a species that once numbered in the billions but is now extinct....
Ghani told The Sunday Times that when she was demoted, a Conservative Party whip said her “Muslimness was raised as an issue” and her being a Muslim woman made colleagues “uncomfortable.” She added that she was told if she persisted, her “career and reputation would be destroyed.” In a statement posted to his Twitter, Chief Whip Mark Spencer identified himself as the one Ghani was referring to. However, he added that the allegations are “completely false and I consider them to be defamatory....

The president said that the original copy of the Constitution would be auctioned on eBay and that proceeds from that sale would help pay for a “long overdue” cut in the estate tax. According to White House aides, ever since the Supreme Court decided last week that the use of military tribunals in Guantanamo was unconstitutional Bush had been looking for a way around that decision, even contemplating sending the Justices themselves to Gitmo....

Susan Jordan got the bad news the same way millions of Americans did: on the tube from Geneva and in the gloom engraved on Secretary of State James Baker’s face. Watching and waiting from her home in Stroud Township, Pa., she had permitted herself the hope that Baker and Tariq Aziz might somehow resolve the Kuwait crisis-that they would emerge from their meeting with a plan that would bring her son Samuel, a 21-year-old Marine, home from Saudi Arabia....
