business news in context, analysis with attitude

As I mentioned last week, I’m taking a few extended weekends as we head toward Labor Day and the fall.  This is one of them, and I’ll be back on Tuesday, August 15, with  fresh, hand-crafted news and commentary.  (The MNB archives, of course, are open.)

In the meantime, have a great weekend.  I'll see you next week.

Sláinte!
