A most frustrating article--it only told half the story!  What I wanted to 
know was why do they *fax* the printed output?  If they now use PostScript,
why not send that, then print it locally (either on an imagesetter if it's
the final output, or on a laser if they're going to edit it further (or even
the source from whatever page makeup they use...)).

Irrelevant aside:  I also am curious about how the various editions of the
Economist differ.  From casual comparison of a copy on a newsstand in London
airport with my (US printed) subscription copy, there appear to be the same
articles in a different order, with different advertising, but do I really see
the same Economist as the man on the Clapham omnibus?
