...Strange Light a more efficient, quasi-new-media version of that process? Not yet. The magazine is available for sale online, but MagCloud doesn't distribute to Australia, where it's reasonable to assume interest will be highest. (Powazek offered to send it to anyone who wanted it, and one Australian took a bulk order for local distribution.) Delivery from MagCloud can take up to two weeks, which is like baking fresh bread and shelving it. HP has plans to shorten the lead time, but it's at the mercy of the postal service. Meanwhile, newsstands remain the point...
...that in August last year, when 10 French soldiers were killed in a single Taliban attack, has a profound impact on the home front. "We cannot continue to remain ... where the [local] population is suffering and where we count our dead without asking ... what is France's role and interest," Socialist Party leader Martine Aubry said this month, a day after France lost two more soldiers. "In 2001, then in 2003, France joined NATO troops to continue taking out the Taliban, but above all to reconstruct the country.

...nonetheless making a big deal out of the Fed chairman's words? Partly because he's powerful. Bernanke's opinions on the economy's future shape the U.S. government's decisions about interest rates, bailout efforts and the like.

At Brookings, Bernanke seemed to indicate that he stood with the first...
...national parks - and The National Parks - are based on ideas that are classically, if not radically, communitarian: That the free market doesn't always act in the public interest. That it's good that every American shares ownership of and responsibility for the most exclusive properties in the country. And that it is right for people - through government - to protect them from business interests and even from the people themselves (like the early visitors who shot game and scratched their names on ancient rocks). A series on a public-TV network that calls a government program America's best idea...
...There are indications that investor interest may not be as strong as expected. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange says less than 200,000 GEM accounts have been opened, far fewer than anticipated. But there are reports of queues in Beijing and Shanghai, where some brokerages say they have extended working hours to accommodate demand. Because GEM companies are seen as riskier than those on other boards, only longtime investors are encouraged to participate, although brokerages can register those with less than two years' investing experience on a case-by-case basis...
