  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

  • The Global Financial Crisis of 2008: the Role of Greed, Fear, and Oligarchs Cate Reavis
    09-093 Rev. March 16, 2012 The Global Financial Crisis of 2008: The Role of Greed, Fear, and Oligarchs Cate Reavis Free enterprise is always the right answer. The problem with it is that it ignores the human element. It does not take into account the complexities of human behavior.1 – Andrew W. Lo, Professor of Finance, MIT Sloan School of Management; Director, MIT Laboratory of Financial Engineering The problem in the financial sector today is not that a given firm might have enough market share to influence prices; it is that one firm or a small set of interconnected firms, by failing, can bring down the economy.2 – Simon Johnson, Professor of Entrepreneurship, MIT Sloan School of Management; Former Chief Economist, International Monetary Fund On October 9, 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average set a record by closing at 14,047. One year later, the Dow was just above 8,000, after dropping 21% in the first nine days of October 2008. Major stock markets in other countries had plunged alongside the Dow. Credit markets were nearing paralysis. Companies began to lay off workers in droves and were forced to put off capital investments. Individual consumers were being denied loans for mortgages and college tuition. After the nine-day U.S. stock market plunge, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had some sobering words: “Intensifying solvency concerns about a number of the largest U.S.-based and European financial institutions have pushed the global financial system to the brink of systemic meltdown.”3 1 Interview with the case writer, April 10, 2009.

Adam Davidson: I recorded this at the Ritz Carlton in lower Manhattan. It’s a black tie dinner, just a few weeks ago. Ira Glass: And you, by the way, are NPR’s International Business and Economics correspondent. Adam Davidson: That’s right. I was there for my job. They’re giving out awards for all these financial securities, including the one that nearly brought down the global financial system. You know, the whole sub prime mortgage crisis. Jim Finkel: This guy is a legend. He’s a granddaddy of our industry. Adam Davidson: I’m sitting at this dinner with Jim Finkel. He’s kind of nervous because he’s up for CDO of the Year for the CDO he created, Monterrey. Now, the CDO, that’s what we’re talking about, that’s the financial instrument that was central to this global credit crisis we’re in. Ira Glass: And they’re giving awards for this? These guys are giving each other awards for doing that? Adam Davidson: Let me just say, they’re aware that there’s a certain irony, giving awards to the instrument that almost destroyed the world’s economy. They did consider canceling this year but it’s been a really tough year, it’s been really gloomy for them. Jim Finkel: Honestly, I know this sounds...I was happy to see there were no major suicides, people weren’t jumping off bridges, there weren’t personal disasters.

  • A Climate of Extremes: Transboundary Conflict Resolution
    A CLIMATE OF EXTREMES: TRANSBOUNDARY CONFLICT RESOLUTION Elizabeth Burleson* INTRODUCTION Climate change threatens international peace and security.1 Scientific and governmental consensus has been reached that humans have contributed to climate change and that there exists an urgent need for multilateral climate mitigation and adaptation.2 The Supreme Court has clarified that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases.3 Momentum is building for the United States to establish an effective national legal framework addressing climate change. EPA regulation of vehicle greenhouse gas emissions is better than inaction, but comprehensive national legislation that is compatible with a well-drafted international climate change framework is likely to be the most effective response to climate change. This Article analyzes emerging climate change policies. Part I discusses the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Massachusetts v. EPA and its ability to facilitate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Part II addresses the obstacles and benefits of multilateral measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate extremes. It looks at the ways in which facilitating the * Professor Elizabeth Burleson has a LL.M. from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a J.D. from the University of Connecticut School of Law.
