Commentary
 Accommodations Must Be Made The anti-globalization protesters who have wreaked havoc at international economic meetings for the past 18 months have achieved at least one thing of note: They've frightened global leaders into moving their meetings.
 I'm On Their Side, To a Point Author Noreena Hertz writes, "It was with some irony, then, that I realized in Genoa that I had become a voice of the movement at the same time that I was at odds with parts of it."
