Whoopee! A vindication!

In the month of April (this year), orders for durable goods rose
0.2%, ( * 12 = 6%) and only because a 46% rise in military orders 
offset the drop in orders of steel, tools, etc. (from NYT around May 3)

I guess a magazine can focus on whatever it wants to, and in this
case, apparently, Newsweek focused on last year to avoid discussing
the implications of last month's figures.

I stopped reading Newsweek when the reporter who wrote an article
called "Nicaragua: The Betrayed Revolution" quit in protest over the
editing of her story from a collection of interviews (both positive
and negative) into a propaganda piece claiming several "before-after" 
interviews of the same people, which amounted to a fictional, but
powerful, indictment of the Nicaraguan Government.

I even worked for Newsweek, once. Now it seems to be riddled with spooks.
Of course, maybe it has always been.
