Not everyone is hurting in this economy.

Raytheon Co., the world's largest missile maker, won a $422 million order to supply its Standard Missile-2 weapons to the United States and allied nations including Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. The Waltham company will supply the Block IIIA and Block IIIB versions of the missile, which has been the US Navy's primary surface-to-air fleet-defense system for more than 30 years (Boston Globe)."
