business+ (AP) - NEW YORK, Sept. 17 (Kyodo)—British bank Barclays Plc said Tuesday it has agreed to acquire the North American investment banking and capital markets operations and property assets of failed U.S. securities house Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. for about $1.75 billion.
The development came after the fourth-largest U.S. brokerage house filed for bankruptcy protection Monday in New York after bailout talks faltered over the weekend.

But let's not reintroduce this testy subject back to the thread.
Just thank your GOP rep for repealing Glass Steagal the best way you know how and move along.

And we also need to stop calling these things falling dominoes
It's more like Stonehenge toppling.
