Language: "Dating back at least to 'cool' in the 1950s, there has always been some word that is shorthand for approval among younger people. . . . Two crucial elements here are one-upmanship and secrecy. By definition, once grown-ups start to use a word, it is past its sell-by date."

"Business moguls who favor stricter gun-control laws -- among them Bloomberg LP founder and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, financier George Soros and entertainment honcho David Geffen -- are in the unique position of being able to put their money where their mouths are. . . .These well-intentioned billionaires (and others) should buy Freedom Group Inc., the world's largest gun manufacturer, from Cerberus Capital Management LP, which has put it up for sale, and literally liquidate it."

"The 2012 U.S. elections, though they weren't seminal, revealed much about the nature of the body politic and the direction of American politics."

"How effective is the Great Firewall, given the many ways of leaping over it? China's Internet sleuths aren't overly concerned with how foreign companies and individuals access the Web, or what they read there. They are concerned about Chinese public opinion, and about ways to influence it by regulating what the Chinese people are and aren't allowed to see on the Internet."
