Subtle, ever subtle......
Last week I was in Poland, doing the good work of empire. There, I had access to only BBC and some travel channel, my languages being limited to English, Canadian and American. Good that I loaded up blogs, before leaving. After three or four days of the Beeb, I returned to Central Region surprised to find the Republic still intact. Today, I picked up the IHT, a wholly owned sub of the NYT. Front page article: Americans are seen losing their scientific edge Third paragraph, slipped in for European consumption: Europe and Asia are ascendant, analysts say, even if their achievements go unnoticed in the self-absorbed United States. Now, the NYT repackages its articles, and ships them to the IHT. The original read: "The rest of the world is catching up," said John E. Jankowski, a senior analyst at the National Science Foundation, the federal agency that tracks science trends. "Science excellence is no longer the domain of just the U.S." Expecting to catch them (Leftonistas) with their pants down is one thing. Expecting them to pull them down themselves is another. Those who can, do. Those who canât...are probably European. Wonder how far Mr. Orkentâs brief is? Posted by: beets 2004-05-03 |
