Thanks Patrick,

I especially enjoyed "This sales technique, reminiscent of =
pre-Reformation Catholicism, is not surprising in a publication named =
after the social science most given to wild guesses and imaginary facts =
presented in the guise of inevitability and exactitude. "

    It reminded me of the 60's saying "If all economists were laid end =
to end they would all point in different directions."  Which in turn led =
to "If all the girls from Redacted College were laid end to end I =
wouldn't be surprised".

Hi Mary &All,

   Thanks for posting this.

   Over time I have received several complementary issues of The
Economist but never subscribed because all of the articles were
anonymous. Has this changed ?
