Here are some more URL's. Thanks to everyone who contributed. As a periodic reminder, you can find the RRE archives here: http://commons.somewhere.com/rre/ Some people prefer to follow the list on the Web, so that's the place. Alternatively, you can get a complete reverse-chronological list of the URL's here: http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/urls.html One reader wrote me a rather contorted letter insinuating that there was something wrong with me inserting my own commentaries on the URL's. On the faint chance that anyone is confused, my convention is that the URL Labels That Are Capitalized Like This are titles drawn from the pages themselves (sometimes edited for clarity). "Labels in quotes like this" are also from the pages (again, sometimes edited). The "lower-case commentaries like this one" are obviously my own, as are the commentaries in parentheses (like this). All of this complexity is in response to repeated observations that the pages' own titles are often not as informative as you'd like. The trade-off is that labeling the pages with my commentaries rather than the original titles makes it harder to figure out whether you've read the same article before somewhere else. Finally, I got hit by another hoax. The piece about a WTO PR campaign aimed at young people reveals itself as a hoax at the bottom. That's the price of trying to operate this list at light-speed. It seemed like a badly constructed hoax: normally the point of a hoax is that one should feel some shame in falling for it. In this case, however, the hoax scenario was *so* something-that-could-really-happen that all I feel is mild annoyance.
