美國密歇根州任命一位公司破產(chǎn)專家擔任陷入經(jīng)濟困境的底特律市的應急管理人，這是幾年來美國大城市的最大規(guī)模國家收購案例。約翰尼·戴蒙德報道。
Michigan's state governor Rick Snyder announced that his candidate virtually certain to be accepted for emergency financial manager was Kevyn Orr, a lawyer with a background in restructuring, the governor did not means his words. This is a crisis, he said, Detroit is broke and bleeding, its population has fallen from a high of two million to around 700,000, its services are overstretched, its financial future deeply uncertain. This may not be the city's nadir, bankruptcy still looms if Mr. Orr can't get a grip on Detroit's finances.
密歇根州州長里克·斯奈德宣布凱文·奧爾擔任應急財務經(jīng)理，稱這位候選人肯定會接受這一任命，奧爾是一名律師，擁有重組方面的經(jīng)驗。州長對此沒有作出解釋，他說，這是一場危機，底特律一文不名，遭受重創(chuàng)，其人口從200萬減少到70萬，其服務已不堪重負，財政前景嚴重不明朗。底特律或許還沒有進入最低點，但如果奧爾不能管理好底特律的財政，那就有破產(chǎn)的危險。
Pope Francis has celebrated mass in a Sistine Chapel for the first time since assuming office.

Otherwise, he said, the Roman Catholic Church risked being reduced simply to a non-governmental organization.

"We can walk as long as we want, we can build many things, but if we don't confess to Jesus Christ, this doesn't work, we will become a compassionate NGO."

The head of the organization said in a letter of congratulation to the new pope that he hoped for cordiality and sincere friendship.
