SUMMER RE-RUNS

Yep, it's the heat of summer and I'm swamped trying to get ready for grad school, which starts on Monday, moving, and tying up loose ends in DC. Rather than trolling the press for the latest tidbits on globalization political economy (which is being drowned out by Iraq and the presidential campaign anyway), I am taking a cue from my television colleagues and re-running some of my better and time insensitive entries, drawn from some of my most Googled posts. If you've already read them, I apologize. New posting will be sporadic for a little while until I adjust to life in the wilds of Western Mass.
