An
On-Line Publication of the Anonymous Anything Society
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
The lead story in the Weekend Edition of The Wall Street
tells about Carlos Ghosn, a giant among automobile makers who had to flee
Japan in a big black box after being accused by Nissan and Renault of
wrongdoing. I’ve no idea what it cost him to jump bail.
Mr. Ghosn is licking his wounds in Lebanon, the country where
he was born and one from which he will not be extradited, since Lebanon
has no treaty with Japan or for that matter, with any other nation,
calling for one’s extradition. I have decided that this is not a good
thing, but then, I have thus far avoided being incarcerated.
On the main, The WSJ is an upbeat publication. It devoted an entire
page this weekend (doorstep delivery on either Saturday or Sunday) to
“Nine Easy Steps to a Better Day at Work.” Best suggestion: “Ban
telephones from Meetings.’ Second best: “Declare all weekends a no-fly
zone for E-mail.”
The Journal could not avoid one depressing front page story:
“Stocks Drop on Fears Over Coronavirus.” One can count on The Wall Street
Journal to tell it like it is, when it comes to complete coverage of
worldwide stock markets and the economy.
The Journal has broadened its coverage to just about every
aspect of our lives. This weekend, there is a great interview with Clint
Eastwood.

highways and byways of the drug trade in the US/Mexico desert
borderlands." (reader's review on Amazon)
