Why does the NY Times (and other experts) continually compare the current economic collapse only with bear markets since 1987? The Dow Jones fell from 381 before October 1929 to 41 in July 1932 -- and had recovered ony to 150 by the end of 1939. Do the math.

@RWPUSA Not yet a saint -- beatification isn't canonization, which will require evidence or testimony of two miracles. For one of them the Church should be willing to count, "The Idea of a university," which bears rereading in this age of asking whether education pays.
