Ben Bernanke’s testimony (and others on Capitol Hill) would drive the business pages.  We, of course, could not predict the events that would unfold in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  This week the business pages will be driven by two factors:  1) the litany of earnings out, offering a cross-section of the US economy; and 2) Congress’ desire to get something press release worthy done on health care and financial industry regulatory reform before the August 7th recess.  (FYI - we never saw the wrap piece last week on the costs of health care + regulatory reform + Iraq + Afghanistan.  We did see a few political pieces pondering whether Pres. Obama is trying to do to much too soon, but that wasn’t what we were hoping for - thus we suggest that piece is still a jump ball).
