Special Reports of Note - from the Economist...

My subscription to the Economist has nearly bankrupted my reading time balance each week, but with special reports like this on immigration and this on religion it is probably worth it.

I have long been confused by the "no by-line" motif of the weekly mag, but I have to say after reading cover to cover everything over the past three weeks... I haven't found substantial reason to doubt the writing ability of the staff (the one complaint I always levy on these publications is the lack of thorough criticism, but hey not everyone can be The Atlantic.) A bit pricey, but a distinct and thoughtful viewpoint on a weekly basis -- acts as a solid supplement to the NYT/NPR/CNN/BBC normal newsflow.
