In grim times, hoping for 'reset'. Accordingly, a new buzzword is making the rounds among business and political leaders -- reset, as in that wonderful button on video-games that lets frustrated players start from scratch. The idea of a do-over has been popping up in speeches and headlines ever since.

Oh, Good Grief! They are. Cry
