William Safire
Is just becoming more and more weird. How does the NYT still keep him! Its as if he's a cranky old tenured prof at a university who nobody dares to cross.
AirIndia plays it safe
This sort of ties in with a reference to a thing I
posted earlier. AI is buying planes from both
Airbus and Boeing. Doesn't make sense unless there were political
compulsions not to go with just one vendor- Outlook said that Airbus was
much cheaper but that the Americans leaned hard.
Compitalists!
People coin weird words: Compitalist = COMmunist + caPITALIST. Anyway, the article itself is a lot less frivolous. I always wondered if the mixture of guanxi with totalitarian governance led to interesting things. It does. I'll avoid the obvious comparison with India. That's a messy argument to go into.
Eeesh..
Killing a 8-year old kid!! No wonder some people want capital punishment.
