把Copyeditors和校对员带回
搁置一边报纸的大胆宽宏偏心和新闻操作的问题， 洛杉矶时报 真正地需要考虑再雇用它解雇存金钱的所有校对员和copyeditors。
这我在企业部分今天读的setnece ： “克莱斯勒关闭工厂，因为SUVs的非杂种版本的销售不足卖”。
销售…不足卖？ copyeditor可能容易地改变了那到取消建筑“销售的多余和极端愚蠢的言行的“慢”移动…不足卖”。

Required Reading for Our Times: ‘The Great Crash 1929′
Though if I were to agree with an economist most times and overall, it would be Milton Friedman, on the advice of Mad Money host Jim Cramer, I just read The Great Crash 1929 by economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
I’m not one to read books about the dismal science in general, but Cramer’s advice definitely was timely, so after reading it, I too am recommending Galbraith’s book unhesitatingly. It’s a great read and highly enlightening.
Great Crash is written in a common-sense, common-person’s style that makes it a quick, engaging read. (I finished it off in about three hours or less.) However, you may want to look up the definitions of these words before reading it: usufruct, eupeptic and parthenogenesis. Otherwise, you’ll encounter clear, concise, simple writing.
I must confess that, after reading Great Crash, I now have a more liberal leaning on governmental intervention in the economy, as Galbraith makes it clear that easy steps could’ve been taken to ameliorate and end the Great Depression possibly while it was in its early stages. (Hint: Don’t balance the budget and keep money flowing.)
I found this passage on the next-to-last page of the book most illuminating for our current crisis:
"…it would be unwise to expose the economy to the shock of another major speculative collapse. Some the new reinforcements might buckle. Fissures might appear at other new and perhaps unexpected places. Even the quick withdrawal from the economy of the spending that comes from stock market gains might be damaging."
Might?

‘Jewel of Medina’ Doesn’t Reach Star Quality
Editor’s Note: Beaufort Books is the same firm that published O.J. Simpson’s "If" book, and The Jewel of Medina has been largely panned as featuring little more than second-class romance novel writing.
By Fred Burton and Scott Stewart
Reprinted courtesy of STRATEGIC FORECASTING
“The Jewel of Medina,” a controversial work of historical fiction by American author Sherry Jones, was supposed to have gone on sale Oct. 15 in the United Kingdom. A series of events, however, have delayed its British release indefinitely. The book, which went on sale in the United States on Oct. 6, describes the life of Aisha, the young girl who became the Prophet Mohammed’s third — and according to many sources, favorite — wife
.
Some Muslims have labeled the book blasphemous and have branded the author an enemy of Islam. An associate professor of Islamic history at the University of Texas at Austin said Muslims would find the book very offensive and, in an August interview in The Wall Street Journal, likened it to soft-core pornography.

Sign Seen at Mini-Mall: ‘$9 Two-Day Only’
Maybe I should’ve used scene instead of seen in keeping with the misspelling and misusage of two-day (I can only figure they meant today, right?).
