David Wessel of the WSJ writes that the FT is a great newspaper, but that Greg Ip's story http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115828334132463875-search.html?KEYWORDS=Geithner&COLLECTION=wsjie/6month about Tim Geithner's Hong Kong speech has more information in it than David Wighton and Peter Thal Larsen's http://www.ft.com/cms/s/8d3e1c1e-4442-11db-8965-0000779e2340.html.

David is right. Greg's piece is excellent.

I guess I am going to have to admit that I haven't read any of the WSJ yet today--and it's well after lunch. Today I've been using Mark Thoma, Felix Salmon as economic news preprocessors...

Isn't it ironic that most of what Salmon is writing about today was written by Barry Eichengreen, currently ~~sitting ten feet behind my back in his office?~~ in Singapore. I guess I'm not going to talk to him today about our joint course this fall, am I?

Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
