ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER: A month ago I noted that Paul Krugman had written only one lonely column with no partisan references, a decrease from eight last year and over fifty in the year 2000. One of his columns last week, "Twilight Zone Economics", was his second non-political column out of 57 this year. I thought that his Tuesday column this week, "The Road to Ruin" -- about the power failure and deregulation -- might be another, but the political hammer came down at the end.
