With reports circulating of its imminent demise, the New York Times announced in January that it had found a white knight.
Sort of. For the knight in question, who already owns 6 percent of the sinking Times and was investing $250 million in notes carrying 14 percent interest, was Carlos Slim. Reputedly the richest man in [...]

Over at Hit and Run David Weigel blogs on a Washington Post report on a new study from the Manhattan Institute that he describes as “revealing the quicker and quicker adaptation of immigrants to American norms.” He pulls the following excerpt:
