...years. As evidence, Pitkow points to the fact that Yahoo.com, which assembles much of its news content into RSS feeds, attracted more visitors in July 2004 than CNN and MSNBC, the two largest online news brands in the U.S. Traditional media firms that have migrated to RSS are more circumspect. "We are embracing RSS, but we don't know yet if it makes people come to our site more or less often," says Simon Waldman, director of digital publishing for Guardian Newspapers. Though RSS has been around since the late 1990s, it has only recently gone mainstream as the popularity...
...Wilder, a descendant of slaves, will unabashedly be a museum about the brutal merchandising of human beings. The Freedom Center in Cincinnati, which cost $110 million to build and hopes to attract 250,000 visitors each year, has wider ambitions. Or looked at another way, it's more circumspect about its approach to a difficult subject. Even the center's name sidesteps the loaded word slavery. By taking the Underground Railroad as its focus, the center gets to emphasize biracial resistance, not racial victimization, a rare triumph of black and white cooperation in those days, not the far more customary...

"Why do you want plotters aware you know even a portion of what you've discovered?" asks a French security official...
...producers estimate that they could sell an extra $2 billion a year in factory-made goods - trucks, machinery, chemicals, plastics - because of this deal. Australia hasn't finished doing its sums yet. Vaile became accustomed to tossing about a figure of $A4 billion ($3.2 billion), but he's more circumspect these days, as that early estimate had factored in a sweeter FTA for Australia and a lower exchange rate. The Australian government is now calling for tenders to recalibrate the expected benefits - and fight off a charge that they gave away too much and won too little...
G.O.P. congressional leaders, who still consider Newt politically radioactive, will say little publicly about his role in the Medicare bill. Gingrich too is circumspect, describing himself only as "a change agent. If they want my ideas, I'm happy to show up and give them." Several of the ideas he has pushed, it seems, wound up in the Medicare bill, such as grants for electronic prescription programs to cut down on medical errors and payments for heart-disease and diabetes screenings. Three days before the House vote, G.O.P. leaders brought in Gingrich for a private session to help win over...
