Lawrence Summers, director of the White House National Economic Council, told a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the latest figures showing strong U.S. economic growth suggest Obama's policies to prevent economic collapse "have been successful."
Most people who looked at the 5.7-percent increase in fourth-quarter growth believe that will continue "at least at a moderate rate for the next several quarters," he said.

HOUSTON He is the symbol of corporate Cubdom, when you thinkabout it. Kevin Tapani is an affable family man who is impossible todislike, never makes waves in the clubhouse, keeps a year-round homeon the North Shore and has overcome injuries to optimize his career.
In other words, he is cost-effective. Or, cheap.
The big-city spenders in Los Angeles signed Kevin Brown for$105 million and gave him use of a private plane. The big-cityspendthrifts in Tribune Tower re-upped Tapani for $12.5 million thisweek, while suggesting he find his own transportation. Frequentflyer points?"I think I got an L pass," he said kiddingly, "but I had tobuy it myself."On …
