- The most recent issue of The Economist has a short bit on USENET and
- the Internet. It's part of a semi-serious list of "people networks"
- including things like the Freemasons, the Rhodes Scholars, the Yale
- Skull and Bones clique, etc. However, the article gets rather silly
- toward the end. The last three "networks" discussed are the
- Trilateral Commission, the Internet, and the Illuminati.
-
- (Reading The Economist is good training for reading netnews. The
- writers are frequently witty and occasionally frivolous, and they
- don't put any smiley faces in the magazine to help out.)
