BUSINESS WEEK is a moderate leftish organ, akin to MARKETPLACE on National
Public Radio.  As long as you understand its biases, you are in good shape
to obtain some valuable information there.  Such is not the case with the
NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS, which is simply neo-Marxist in its approach and
tone.

And I am awaiting your response to my condemnation of doing business with
Red China.  I note that you appear to accept their use of slave labor and
the like as an acceptable part of international trade.  If you object to
trade with Red China, I would appreciate your saying so.
