God, I love the British outlook, that can read without flinching a title like "Melinda Gates Hangs With Hindu Hookers" and still see professionalism. I am happy to say that for Christmas I got a renewal of my subscription to The Economist, which I let lapse a few years ago because of some financial belt tightening - it's not a cheap publication, and wasn't one of the magazines around the house with multiple readers, so it unfortunately got the axe - and I'm hoping the unequalled ongoing wit combined with unparalleled detailed reporting are still in there. I used to HOWL at the captions in the Economist photographs - such brilliant dry wit while looking at such often dry subjects!!! Thanks!

I've heard about the Foundation before, but only in reports like "Bill Gates Invests $200m in AIDS research but $500m in Advertising Windows XP" or other such nonsense, so it's nice to get some proper info.
