Friday, June 13, 2008 – Ever alert for ways to improve our service, we have taken the advice of a friend and modified our procedures slightly. Our downloadable pdf files should henceforth be somewhat less of a strain on our visitors’ personal intertubes. Herewith, our Volume 252, No. 19, dated June 13, 2008. It takes up just 3.4 MB, 41 percent less than excruciatingly high-resolution version we sent to our printer.
In this issue we look into what’s behind the alarming rise in oil prices. Along the way we manage to drag in genealogy, The Rapture, and Alexander VI, our favorite Pope.
To put some perspective on our coverage of Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s attempt to impeach George W. Bush, we refer to and quote an article our Founder Daniel Fowle published 242 years ago, which got him in some considerable trouble.
All that, just on the first page!
If you’re too impatient to settle for free, two-week old coverage, you could always visit our Subscription Department. It’s just $22 a year for 26 issues, via First Class delivery!
