This week there will be two quotes of the week - one technical, one not.
First the non-technical one.
" Anyone who wants to stay in touch with national, international and local events looks forward to reading the newspaper every day. The variety and breadth of newspaper stories make Americans the best-informed people in the world. "

I have to say that to someone outside the United States, particularly to those used to the much greater variety of opinion available in newspapers in Western Europe, the quote has more than a flavour of endearing naivete about it.
