U.N. Defends Arafat
International response to Israel

Following a continuing cycle of violence in Israel, and
the resignation of Palestinian PM Abbas, Israel said that
they would target Yasser Arafat. The international community
came out strongly against this position, and Israel has
since recanted their position.

Markets March On
The economy slowly improves.

After quick gains in the spring, the market has stayed
unchanged. Optimists say that the recovery is under way,
just at a slower than desired pace. Others feel that the
economy is poised for a double dip recession.

Speculation among extreme bears is that a housing crash
that would damage the economy is inevitable over the
next few quarters. James Golden asks whether the end
is truly near.
