The Economist commodity-price index

IT HAS taken an extraordinarily long time, but Japan really is now
recovering from its debt- and deflation-ridden stagnation of the past
15 years. Proper jobs are being created, wages are rising and
economists are raising their forecasts of economic growth
will despite worries about high oil prices and an American slowdown.
The prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, grabbed the world's attention
last month by calling and winning a snap general election, as a
referendum on economic reform.

Hurricane Katrina
IT WILL be deceptively easy for statistically minded historians to play down
the magnitude of what Hurricane Katrina did to America's Gulf coast this week.
It pales in comparison with last December's Asian tsunami, which left more
than 200,000 dead. Indeed, the death toll in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama, which could turn out to be 1,000 or more, was sadly and promptly
matched by this week's other tragedy, the deaths in a stampede of Shia
pilgrims in Baghdad.…


ドラゴンが呼びながらやってくる

The dragon comes calling (English version)
No bilateral relationship is more important than America's and China's.
Yet as George Bush and Hu Jintao prepare to meet, it is in a fractious state
As China sees it, America's current Sinophobia is beginning to rival its
preoccupation with terrorism.

The woodpecker and the lumberjack (English version)
Junichiro Koizumi makes the running, but voters may benefit no matter who wins

called a risky snap election, in a bid to win public backing for his plan to
privatise Japan's massive postal-savings scheme.
