At least read the headlines.  Happy Labor Day.

Note from DB:  When I link to a WSJ article that requires a subscription, it's easy to circumvent.  When you arrive at the story on the WSJ, paste the headline into a google search.  When you click through to the story from google, you will be able to read the entire article.  It's a 'quick fix' that takes about 5 seconds and works every time.

And there are several WSJ articles below, so you'll need the trick.
