eguy thinks it’s time to end this effort, as he has shown his way of reading Economist / learning English, to the Chinese readers.
As is fitting, 該是忙別的事的時候了。eguy想說的，這裡(右方’Economist What?’/eguy)都看得到。有沒有人想接手?
eguy很感謝能從寫部落格中學到很多, it has shown. 看到AllthingsD (‘best blog‘)上，將經濟學人的文章放入’Voices from other web sites’，很有趣，這兩個出版品這樣連結，這個世界又變了一點點。雖然沒將整整3年寫完(中間還有4個月的空檔)，可以了；eguy感謝學到很多, it will show.
Read The Economist!
All things D, indeed!

A note on blog stats: 1,001 hits. Congratulations.
From About The Economist: “Established in 1843 to campaign on one of the great political issues of the day, The Economist remains, in the second half of its second century, true to the principles of its founder.” 2011-1843+1=169年。The Pursuit of Reason: The Economist 1843-1993.

“The war’s ultimate legacy was not yet clear. But that battle is now over.”… It took 150 years to have gotten to this stage, and that’s why the UN video is supposed to be moving.

Also, see p.310 on Drucker’s note of Mordecai Johnson‘s words: “He (the American Negro) has been emancipated. The only question is how long it will be before the whites know it. The American Negro…was free the day one of them realized that a white man is just as dead if run over by a car driven by a nigger as by one driven by a white.” Drucker’s own conclusion: “The automobile gave mobility. But above all it gave power. It put the Negro sharecropper emotionally and spiritually into the driver’s seat.”

New York Times 網站月底(3/28)開始收費，免費文章最多20篇per月。今天(3/18)起加拿大地區全程試辦，來測試調整實施方式。A letter from the publisher Sulzberger.
這變動還真是”幅員廣泛(global online~)”。NYTimes的Global Edition(可由U.S. Edition網站左上角click)應仍免費；”Subscribers to The International Herald Tribune, which is The Times’s global edition, will also have free digital access.”

eguy注意到”World” tab 才剛改成”World politics” at Economist.com. He changes this blog’s category (name) accordingly.
