The Newsrag of the Zeitgeist is in a games-playing mood this week! On our front cover: homeless vets from the War on Terror. We will not ascribe any duplicity to this because we owe our veterans everything, and their treatment should always be above politics, but even with the most careful reporting you still have to wonder. In the Europe and Latin American editions: a CFR high muckamuck opines the League of Nations' new boss is "doomed to fail" -- because of the League of Nations (an odd admission as one would think criticizing the League is a con-SER-va-tive thing; although part of it does seem to be our fault, thank God*). Amazingly (or perhaps not so amazingly) this isn't on the Asian edition's cover, which we reserve for Japan's prime minister and his woes (Japan and Korea -- well, never mind). It might be profitable for our hacks to report once in a while on things like this to which most readers can profess ignorance, instead of focusing their microscopic attention on Anna's mouldering corpse. We do hope though despite the brave words from the rag's show-biz PR boss Devin about "12-year-olds" that we will eventually get a cover plug in. Never soon enough, Devin!

*Although truth to tell it is our fault, in part; we founded the place.
