America and Iran
A thaw in the offing?

Iran and America will talk about Iraq. But an intriguing change of diplomatic tone does not show America's policy has shifted
IT IS not quite the road to Damascus, nor is it a sign of conversion. But the suggestion this week by Condoleezza Rice, America’s secretary of state, not only that American officials would join a Baghdad-based conference this month on Iraq, which would include Iran and Syria, but that a follow-up meeting of foreign ministers might be held soon afterwards, has caused something of a political sensation. There has been talk of breaking the ice between Iran and America.
Iran has also said it will attend the talks: Ali Larijani, the country’s to

The rise of Fran鏾is Bayrou makes the election more exciting
THE byways of French politics are littered with men once tipped to be president. The voters have a genius for humbling favourites and exalting outsiders. Add the fact that presidents are elected in a two-round system, and surprises are always possible. In 2002 the surprise was unpleasant: the far right’s Jean-Marie Le Pen beat the Socialist candidate in the first round. To their dismay, the voters had to choose between Mr Le Pen and the incumbent, Jacques Chirac, in the run-off.
This time the surprise may come from a politician best known for being nice. Fran鏾is Bayrou,

Troubled Airbus finally announces a restructuring plan. But political wrangling will continue to dog the firm
AS A symbol of European industrial co-operation none come bigger than Airbus’s A380 super-jumbo. The vast, twin-decked passenger jet is a potent reminder of what Europe can achieve when it pulls together. But Power8, the long-awaited restructuring effort announced by the European planemaker on Wednesday February 28th, is also a reminder of the price of running such a huge, border-straddling, venture. The political thrust that created Airbus has left a long wake of turbulent infighting.
Last year Airbus a

Various factors, inside America and beyond, trigger turmoil in markets around the world
AMERICA boasts the world’s biggest and most liquid stockmarkets, and it has long been a cliché that when it sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. But as other markets mature and capital moves more fluidly across the globe, the risk of infection spreading the other way grows. A graphic illustration came on Tuesday February 27th, when shares dipped around the world after China’s stoc

As private-equity firms agree a takeover of TXU, a big Texan energy company, expect loud grumbles
私人股本收购集团同意收购德州能源巨擘TXU，
IN THE bear pit of capitalism a little name-calling is an inseparable part of the show. Private equity has attracted a fair amount of abuse down the years. As Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Texas Pacific Group tie up the world’s largest ever private-equity deal with a $45 billion (including debt) takeover of TXU, a Texas energy firm, expect a little more. KKR’s acquisition
