It just goes to show you. Once upon a time I considered myself to be
on the cutting edge of positive change. Now I seem to be like an old
duck, dragging a broken wing and wandering in circles. Frankly, I
have no idea how some of you cover as much material as you do. Even
on days that we have no clients, I just glance and scan, and wind up
saving articles that I want to read, but later simply delete them
because they are no longer timely. I had thought about signing up
with Book Share, but never did, since I'm not reading everything that
comes to my in-basket. Only one excuse...did I mention that this
Friday I turn 83? 83 is not as old as it once was, but if you want to
be dragged to the depths of negativism, sit with me while I tell you
of all the things in life that I can no longer do, or just plain
forgot how to do.

The Newsline is now on line and people also get it on their smart phones and
their VR streams and NLS players. I look online at the New York Times Book
Review on Sundays because it's the fastest way for me to discover if any of
my favorite authors have written new books. I also, very occasionally, look
at an article in Newsday, our Long Island paper, if I receive a headline in
my inbox because the articles are easier to access online from Newsline than
directly from Newsday. But the online content also omits all sorts of things
and isn't dependable.

It's the sort of thing Kenneth Jernigan would have done. I am totally out
of touch with the NFB's leadership, which is just fine with me.
And I never needed the Newsline because I get more than I can read on-line.
The idea of having to dial up my morning news was never something I could
adapt to.

Well, their timing is just perfect. Newsline has added a new
publication, Globes Israel, to Newsline. This is what they say.
We have added Globes Israel to our international publications. Each
evening, Globes brings its unrivaled coverage of Israeli business to
some 45,000 subscribers representing Israel's elite in management,
investment, technology, law, accounting, and marketing. From the
wealth of material in Globes, the English website team selects for
translation the news and features that will matter most to English
speaking readers.
Isn't that lovely? It's akin to giving blind people in the 1930's, a
braille magazine covering nazi news and business.
