3. Thanks for the article because

the last that I left off with them was that they folded into "The Daily Beast" and would be all-online (and that's when Howard Fineman jumped ship to Huffington). But then I had heard mumblings about them considering going back to print... and then winter hit with a vengeance around here, and that was that for me trying to keep up with their drama.

4. Thanks; always thought IBT was a bit doubtful, but didn't know it had bought Newsweek

I can't remember seeing many stories from Newsweek posted here recently (IBT gets a fair amount, though), but well worth knowing their background.

5. Gotta hand it to Rev Moon's Org, they really know how to use money. And people.

''Newsweek'' apologized in 2011 to Poppy for calling him a 'Wimp' in 1992.
