Check out the brit cover!!! I want a poster.... a copy of Krugman’s latest book in one of the local bookstores yesterday and was struck by its cover art. The cover art for the non-US or Commonwealth version of the book is very different from the unremarkable text that adorns the US version. Click here to see the version that retails at Amazon in the UK images-eu.amazon.com and now compare it to the cover from Amazon’s US site, images.amazon.com wonder if they sell POSTERS of the UK version/????

Bill Moyers Interviewed Stewart Udall who was John F. Kennedy's Secretary of the Interior last week. Mr. Udall called "Washington's a Cesspool of money." pbs.org EXCERPT MOYERS:" Forty years ago next Friday, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. At that very moment, six members of his cabinet were above the Pacific en route to a meeting in Japan. One of them, Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, remembers how they got the word. UDALL: The information we got was from the Associated Press. It was very simple, very direct and very bleak. It said that the President had been shot and taken to hospital. But then within… the next one that came said that he was dead. And I still have the ticker tape. I just… it passed around, and I put it in my pocket." …………………………….. MOYERS:" It's harder and harder in the West, isn't it, to get elected without the support of business, without a lot of money from that side in to your campaigns? UDALL: You know, it almost seems sometimes in Washington that they appear and say, "Well, now, what can we do for you, if you will make big contributions to our political campaign?" Washington's a cesspool of money, Bill. I was there 49 years ago. It has changed so drastically it makes me sick every time I look at it. MOYERS: Because? UDALL: Of money. Of money. Bill, I want to say something to the business community. The business people that I knew in the 60s and 70s and worked with them on projects had a sense of integrity. That they owed duties to the country, duties to the community. The element of honesty was very strong. This breakdown that we've seen in the last three, four years in corporate America, the greed that we see… And the shocking thing to me is that nobody's shocked. There's no indignation in Washington." pbs.org
