Lars Calmfors har på uppdrag av stiftelsen Fritt Näringsliv lett en utredning om huruvida Sverige borde ansluta sig till euron. I en debattartikel i Dagens industri framför han sina egna argument för ett medlemskap. Hans starkaste argument är att en anslutning till euron skulle öka svensk utrikeshandel med 5–7,5 procent.

As my plans to interview Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie for The Believer first took shape, billboards sprang up, as if on cue, around Manhattan. Sprawled several stories high was Harry’s image, framed in a moody fashion-house ad.

OPHELIA
Hamlet’s friend, who has an unrequited crush on Hamlet. It needs to be realistic that Hamlet wouldn’t want to date her, but legally, we can only cast hot people at CW, so we’re kind of in a bind. Maybe she’ll wear glasses? Also, obviously, we’re putting her on the swim team because of foreshadowing.

On a rainy morning in 1954, Sid Chaplin climbed out of the pit and handed Raymond Williams a letter: ‘just ten percent of authors originate from a working-class background,’ it read. The words were familiar, but lacked context. Seeking clarification, Williams presented the letter to Catherine Cookson, who had just appeared on an adjacent ballast […]
