把Copyeditors和校對員帶回
擱置一邊報紙的大膽寬宏偏心和新聞操作的問題， 洛杉磯時報 真正地需要考慮再雇用它解雇存金錢的所有校對員和copyeditors。
這我在企業部分今天讀的setnece ： 「克萊斯勒關閉工廠，因為SUVs的非雜種版本的銷售不足賣」。
銷售…不足賣？ copyeditor可能容易地改變了那到取消建築「銷售的多餘和極端愚蠢的言行的「慢」移動…不足賣」。

太一點的部門，太後
我們看。 它在抵押擔保品和其他投機的金融證券發布的AIG (美國國際小組)無法報道保險，如此美國。 政府(讀： 我們納稅人)必須付錢$90公司可能如此安定它的保險索賠和保持存在。

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?).
