I wish to draw to their attention a series of brief essays that appears in the latest issue of The Atlantic Monthly, entitled " The real state of the union" . There are eight or ten articles, a page and a half in length, by eminent critics and people who obviously know something about which they are speaking, on various sectors of the U.S. economy such as defence, education and so on.
Ces articles, d'une page et demie de long, sont écrits par d'éminents critiques et individus qui, à l'évidence, savent de quoi ils parlent et qui traitent de différents secteurs de l'économie américaine, par exemple la défense, l'éducation, ainsi de suite.
