Short Documentary Shows Foreclosure Crisis Affects All

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The California Reinvestment
Coalition released today a short documentary about the foreclosure crisis that
continues to destroy the dreams of California families and threaten the
stability of small businesses, city governments and neighborhoods.  

The documentary, entitled Mo' Money, Mo' Money, Mo' Money: How Greedy
Corporations Destroy the American Dream shows the crisis affects everyone. Mo'
Money tells the story of borrowers who were lied to and ignored by their
mortgage loan servicers, and the people who are working to keep them in their
homes. It also reveals how this disaster could have been avoided if regulators
and government officials did not ignore predatory lending practices. 

"A conspiracy of greed in the mortgage industry and benign neglect by the
Federal Reserve has taken the homes of thousands of Californians and leaves
hundreds of thousands more at risk," says Alan Fisher, California Reinvestment
Coalition executive director.  "Our documentary shows the need for stronger
legislation to protect consumers, and stricter regulation of the mortgage
lending industry."

New security restrictions could hurt airlines

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tighter security measures at U.S. airports following an attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound jet could dampen enthusiasm for air travel, hurting the airline industry just as it seemed poised to recover from a period of bruising losses, some industry experts say.
