COMM 337: Clear writing on a complex topic

I'll just link to it, since I'm running out of time before class and I haven't had lunch yet, and we can talk about it when class meets.

BBC News, the British Broadcasting Corp., has the best explanation of the worldwide investment banking crisis that I've seen so far. It's clearly explained, it covers both financial and political aspects and it's written in crisp conversational English.

Especially cogent, I think, is BBC World News America presenter (announcer) Matt Frei 's take on the credit crisis' effect on the "rolling, rollicking ballad that is American politics." A model of good writing, even making allowances for occasional Briticisms like "Blimey!" and words like "High Street" where we'd say "Main Street" in the U.S.
