misjudgment, Judgment Day

America is not the only Western democracy prone to spasms of nativism. Nor is it the only country liable to forget—and so repeat—its misjudgments of earlier newcomers

After a two-month wait, the nation's 19 largest banks will start learning today how they fared in important federal examinations.

While many of the banks reported surprisingly strong first-quarter earnings, they are by no means out of the woods. A number of them are likely to need more capital to weather a prolonged recession, and the losses that might accompany it, The New York Times's Eric Dash writes.

Those poised to withstand potential worsening of the recession -- with little or no new capital -- are likely to include major banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, as well as big custodial banks like Bank of New York Mellon and State Street and a handful of well-run commercial banks, such as JPMorgan Chase.

At the other end of the spectrum are weaker banks, where ballooning losses threaten to overwhelm profits. Analysts say that some of these banks -- including Bank of America and Citigroup -- may need additional capital to shore up their finances.
