Crisis in Europe Tightens Credit Across the Globe (NY Times)

The Organization for Economic Cooperation downgraded its projections for growth in the U.S. economy’ Moody’s Investors Service also suggested Monday that mass downgrades of European government debt are possible if the credit issue is not quickly resolved.
