Fixing Japan's banks faces hard realities and delays
The plan to restructure Japan's banking system faces skepticism from officials and markets alike. Critics warn that true reform requires shutting failing banks and forcing losses, with estimates of 400 to 600 billion dollars in public backing and a potential trillion dollars in bad loans, while observers note the risk of bailing out viable but troubled lenders.

Are powerful women really different in politics
Mona Charen argues that women in power show no inherent, distinct feminine virtue. Using the Year of the Woman and figures like Moseley Braun, Murray, Boxer, Reno, and Albright, she says feminists overstate female sensitivity while noting hypocrisy, caution, and partisan politics in both sexes. The piece concludes that women should seek power as qualified individuals, not as embodiments of femininity.

Impeachment standards and the risk to justice
Thomas Lowell argues impeachment is a trust protecting society from power misuse, not a punishment. He compares criminal and civil standards, notes Hastings case shows contradictions, and warns against a rush to judgment. Impeachment should be a measured trial to determine continued office held by those in power.
