...Although Harvard has particular reason to celebrate, the rest of the public should similarly laud the Times’s smart choice of Mr. Douthat. The columnist whom he will replace, Mr. Kristol, has ancestral ties to the luminaries in the American conservative tradition. His father, Irving Kristol, chartered the school of thought known as “neoconservatism,” and he studied for his doctorate under Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr., ’53, conservativism’s elder statesman and principal brain trust. Despite these credentials, Mr. Kristol’s short run on the Times?...

...Although most BBS-based online novels started out free of charge, Shanda Literature's users now have to pay for the pleasure of online reading. But for most subscribers, the cost is minimal: they can access up to 75% of a book for free and pay only about 0.04 yuan (less than one cent) per 1,000 words for the rest of the book. In other words, it costs about one-tenth of the paperback price to read a book online. Right now, the company takes half of the readers' payment, and the other half goes into the writers' pocket...
