- Opinion: Amid crisis, Europe resists extremism
- It hardly qualifies as breaking news that Europe is in the middle of a deep and protracted economic contraction.

And, entertainingly, the answer to the question “Will Barack Obama’s scandals derail his second-term agenda?” was a question: What agenda?
