explore-blog: Underlining something in your book is the original “interactive” media. Think of it as a hyperlink that redirects to your own thoughts, and like a hyperlink, it can leave the rest of the story behind and open up a new window of ideas, insights, musings. (Indeed, a point Mortimer Adler made in 1940.) Evan Robertson takes snippets of text and ideas from some of his favorite authors and let the words be a springboard for an illustration. Brilliant. I know some academics *ahem Chris Mills* who will be appalled … but British appalled, which is more like disconcerted.

‘full blown AIDS’ a semantic question

When you’re reading a credible book on an international org, the WTO let’s say, and it says that ‘in early 2001 as full-blown AIDS racked his 31-year-old body’ …well don’t you feel like using full-blown as an adjective for dehabilitating AIDS is somewhat inappropriate for a journalist?

Newsflick? You got anything on this?

Political notebook?

The longest sentence I’ve ever written:

The knowledge of complex negotiation points – the modalities, the Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM), the Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) for Special Products (SP), and the dispute settlement forum – are essential to analysing the sophistication that is involved in producing a consensus-based, multilateral trade agreement, between 153 countries, compatible with domestic policy, influenced by state and non-state actors in sum.

Yeah, punctuation!
