[Pamela McCorduck]

As a longtime subscriber to both the Times and the Economist, I can 
tell you that the Economist certainly has a point of view; you detect

the Times (though the Times is trying harder these days), but hardly 
"all the facts."


"All human beings have this burden in life to constantly figure out 
what's true, what's authentic, what's meaningful, what's dross, what's

figure out what is valuable, constantly.  As a writer, all I am doing 
is posing the question in a way that people can see very clearly."
