heute am Kiosk (Winterthur/Schweiz)

»Die neue Elite greift nicht Ueli Maurer an, den Bauernsohn aus dem Zürcher Oberland, sondern die Tradition der Konkordanz. Die Diktatoren bringen, Wahlakt um Wahlakt, das Schweizer System zum Einsturz. Von Urs Paul Engeler mehr…«


Lead des Artikels *In Bern tagen die Gross-Inquisitoren (Die Weltwoche 49/08, 4. Dezember). Das Sternchen bedeutet: Mit * markierte Artikel sind nur für registrierte ‘Weltwoche’-Abonnenten zugänglich.

Und hier das Cover des Magazins (Screenshot):

Weltwoche Front

Hervorhebung (in Grün) durch den Schreibenden. Zwei Spontan-Gedanken durchzuckten ihn (am Kiosk): Fahndungsfotos und McCarthyanismus. Neo-McCarthyanismus in der Schweiz…

Schreibender hat den Artikel noch nicht gelesen, er ist nicht Abonnent der Weltwoche. Er wird den Artikel lesen - aber in der Freihand-Abteilung der Stadtbibliothek Winterthur. Ein Novum, denn bisher kaufte er das Magazin. Damit ist nun Schluss!

data suggest a different story (concerning Google ads)

»Of course, we’re not talking big money here, but every month this year has brought in $120-$160, until this one, which is heading for just $70.«


magforum, in: Is Google suffering from the recession? (Magforum, November 25):

Google has suggested that its advertising model is likely to hold up better in recession that that of other media companies.

Yet data for this month from the Google ads on my website, Magforum.com, suggest a different story.

History of Technology: Bullet-proof glass

Even nowadays, many people do not believe bullet-proof glass products to be effective. To abandon all prejudices: here’s a (silent) clip showing a bullet-proof glass test in the 1930’s, and since then, the technology has improved dramatically.
