We just posted a rather long piece on the impressive string of historic events that have taken place in the last two months, from the nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the election of Barack Obama.

All the pieces can be found on the D&S website, in the "Special to the Web" section at the bottom of the site.
