Ira Stoll Predicts the Big Headlines of 2012

In the tradition of William Safire's New York Times office pool, in which readers got to pick from a list of possible headlines for the coming year (as well as make up their own), Ira Stoll stakes out the big stories for 2012, and guesses at the next big dictator to exit, dead or alive; the big business story of the year; the fate of European Union; and the GOP presidential ticket.
