Well, she wowed them... but I'm not sure Condi Rice convinced all the Davos participants that the US is still an "engine" of world economic growth. Still she put a few things right about Russia and the Middle East. What a pity her colleague, Treasury secretary Hank Paulson cannot now come to Davos; a testament to the scale of the crisis.
Your corespondent-blogger is off now to dinner with the Indian minster of commerce and thence to a "Nobel nightcap" - with no less than I think seven Nobel prizewinners. I'm not bragging, just letting you know how folk in Davos spend their time. Lucky things.
