In fact, it is already likely feeling some pain. The only questions are to what degree and how much worse it will get. People saving for retirement and other long-term goals, for instance, have seen the value of stocks in their 401(k)s and IRAs drop by nearly 30 percent on average in a matter of weeks. Anyone who works for an airline, hotel, restaurant, sports arena or movie theater (especially if they’re shift workers) or who runs a local small business has probably already taken a serious income hit, as consumers stop consuming and public life is curtailed at the urging of government officials and medical experts....

According to the news outlet, Spadoni opened a brokerage account with the Charles Schwab & Co., a financial services company, in January.

The Great War (PBS, Nov. 11-13) wants to change all that. This literate, absorbing eight-hour documentary–the best of its kind since ““The Civil War’’–is a chronicle of both that distant era and our own. The full title is ““The Great War: And the Shaping of the 20th Century’’ to remind us that this devastating conflict was not merely a dress rehearsal for the second world war but for the entire modern age....

And just how far is the Bush administration willing to wade into the Colombian quagmire? Significantly deeper, apparently. The State Department’s top Latin American affairs official, Otto Reich, flew down to Bogota after the election for meetings with Uribe and the country’s outgoing Defense minister.

Medved’s views get a fierce thumbs down from Jack Valenti, longtime president of the Motion Picture Association of America, a trade group. Valenti told Los Angeles Magazine that Medved is “a singularly uninformed individual who leaps from soggy premises to stupid conclusions” and “a failed screenwriter who became a critic because … he couldn’t get his scripts produced.” Medved fires back: “Jack Valenti is the leading apologist for the motion-picture industry … He’s the only human being in this nation who can declare with a straight face that movies today are better than ever....

He will then head north to the United Arab Emirates and further to India, China, South Korea and Japan....

In their natural environment at a stadium, they’re at least easy to tune out. They generally blend into the scenery. They don’t speak. But a 22-minute video from the virtual 2020 Mascot Hall of Fame induction ceremony Sunday was terrifying. Absolutely horrible. Host Reggie the Purple Party Dude tells cringy jokes, and the large cast of mascots stare into the camera with their dead eyes throughout the showing. MORE: Kid writes letter to Babe Ruth...

If Bailey had slain the man, many Top-sider types might have thought it a justifiable homicide. As the small, speedy vessels known as personal watercraft (PWCs) swarm bays and lakes, run-ins both literal and figurative are soaring. With names like Jet Ski and WaveRunner, the water-jet-powered craft can hit 60 miles per hour. They’re fun–especially when thrown into tight turns–but they can be as loud as lawn mowers, and–when driven improperly–equally hazardous....

Hawley told CBC News that a snow removal machine wrecked part of the curb outside his house in January 1993. After reporting the damage to the city, he waited for crews to come and correct the damage. They never came. “One time, they told me the system for logging complaints had changed,” Hawley said, “and my previous complaints weren’t on record.” He kept calling the city of Winnipeg on and off for around 24 years until the day he finally heard the sound of work crews on his street....
