Fed slashes rates to near zero amid financial crisis
The Fed set the funds rate at zero to 0.25 percent and banks cut prime lending to 3.25 percent, with Wells Fargo Wachovia and U S Bancorp among responders. The Dow rose about 360 points as economists warned fear may curb new borrowing. The move marks an unprecedented policy step in the central bank's 95 year history.

Democrats Question Kennedy Replacement
Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, JFK’s surviving child, faces scrutiny as potential replacement amid a blend of ridicule and support from Democrats. As Manhattan attorney and Kennedy Library head, she is cited for a resume that includes charity work, Profiles in Courage awards, and public service within a family deeply tied to the Democratic Party.
