So the credit spigot will start flowing again, banks will resume lending, and an economic recovery can begin, right? Wrong. Experts say the most important thing that needs to happen before the $700 billion bailout even has a chance of working: Home prices must stop falling. That would send a sig- nal to banks that the worst has passed and it’s safe to start dol- ing out money again. The problem is the lending freeze has made getting a mort- gage loan tough for everyone except those with sterling credit. That means it will take several months or longer to pare down the glut of houses built when times were good — and those that have come on the market because of soaring foreclosures — before home prices start appreciating. Housing is a critical component to the U.S. economy and by extension the availability of credit. Roughly one in eight U.S. jobs depends on housing directly or indirectly — from con- struction workers to bank loan officers to big brokers on Wall Street. A turnaround in housing prices would boost confidence in the wider economy and, experts hope, goad banks into lend- ing again. “Housing traditionally does lead the economy through a recovery. I think it’s going to be critical for a sustained recov- ery in this cycle, too,” said Gary Thayer, senior economist at Wachovia Securities. US military: 2 Black Hawks collided while landing in northern Baghdad BAGHDAD (AP) — Two U.S. helicopters collided while landing at a base in Baghdad on Saturday, killing one Iraqi sol- dier and wounding four people, including two Americans, the military said. It was the second helicopter crash in two weeks. The U.S. military said hostile fire did not appear to be the cause. Also Saturday, the military said it killed an al-Qaida in Iraq leader suspected of masterminding one of the deadliest attacks in Baghdad, several other recent bombings and the 2006 video- taped killing of a Russian official. The two UH-60 Black Hawks crashed shortly before 9 p.m. in a northern section of the capital known as Azamiyah, the mil- itary said. The wounded included two American troops and two other Iraqis, but the total number of people on board was not yet known, a statement said. “The situation is under control. Emergency services are on the scene,” military spokesman Lt. Patrick Evans said. An investigation into the crash was under way. NKorean leader watches soccer game in 1st public appearance in 2 months SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il watched a university soccer game, a state-run news agency said from Pyongyang on Saturday, reporting on the leader’s first public appearance in nearly two months. Kim and other political leaders watched the game held to mark the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the university named after his late father, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, the Korean Central News Agency report said. The university’s 62nd anniversary was Oct. 1 but the report did not say when or where the game was held. It also did not say whether Kim, who is believed to have suffered a stroke in August, attended the game in person. There was no mention of his health. The 66-year-old leader had not been seen in public since mid-August, missing two key occasions — the 60th anniversary of the founding of North Korea and Korean Thanksgiving — amid mounting speculation about his health. Obama: McCain’s health plan would force millions to struggle with insurance NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama sharply criticized Republican John McCain’s health care pro- posals Saturday, saying they could force millions of Americans to struggle to buy medical insurance. Turning to an issue that has faded somewhat during the eco- nomic crisis, Obama gave an unusually detailed outline of his own plans in a 40-minute speech to thousands of sun-soaked Virginians at a waterside park in Newport News. He would make coverage more affordable to most Americans, he said, paying for the subsidies largely by canceling the Bush adminis- tration’s tax cuts for people making more than $250,000 a year. In a sign that the presidential campaign’s final month may have a nastier tone, Obama called McCain’s health plan “radi- cal,” and Republican officials accused Obama of lying. Wearing a dark suit and speaking from a TelePrompTer, Obama told the Virginia crowd he would reduce premiums for most people by “as much as $2,500 per family.” He would save money in the heath care system, he said, by holding drug and insurance companies “accountable for the prices they charge and the harm they cause.” He also said he would outlaw “insurance company discrimination against peo- ple with pre-existing conditions.” Two separate criminal cases against Simpson become 1 in eyes of observers LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jurors had been told to ignore what they knew about O.J.
