New Newsweek

Ezra, I hope you might get the chance to write a long form magazine piece setting forth your observations and conclusions about China in the wake of your visit.

You may just have become the youngest person in the past thirty years to say something is "snazzy."

Lots of red and black -- typical tabloidish online design. And I'm not encouraged by the top story, which, as I'm typing, is about how the economic recovery is real and fears of a second recession are overblown. Was this written before the jobless report and the market tanked?

Can't say I agree, Ezra. The old look was brilliant, and it was also one of the few sites around that was able to pull off a content carousel without it looking overblown or pointless.

This new look takes up far too much space to display too little content. To see much of the content, we now have to scroll down about three screenfuls of stuff, whereas on the old look you could access heaps of content without scrolling down at all.
