Anne Kates Smith, Investment strategist forecasts events that could affect
the economic recovery. Washington Post, Feb. 7, 2010.

My comment: The reporter asks Mr. Ed Yardeni to "spot 2010's 'black swans' -
- those rare and unexpected events that can change the course of history, or
at least have an outsize effect on your portfolio." At web page 2, to the
question "What else worries you?" Mr. Yardini aasnwered, "China could be
another black swan."

(a) Without citation, a definition in Urbandictionary.com is: "An event or
occurrence that deviates beyond what is normally expected of a situation and
that would be extremely difficult to predict."
(b) Dictionary.com says, "A black swan was proverbial for "something
extremely rare or non-existent" (1398), after Juvenal ["Sat." vi. 164].
