traffic, demote, promote,rejuvenation, how people spend time online.

 

Some of the biggest changes are in how people spend time online. Surprisingly, traffic to gambling and pornography sites is flat

The change is seen by some as a demotion for Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman.

Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for the New Yorker, has built a thriving career as a populariser of social-science research. His newest book, "David and Goliath", is about the benefits of adversity and the hidden hazards of power. A superbly fluid writer, Mr Gladwell once again traffics in anecdote and covers a lot of ground http://econ.st/1bcwvP3

Another air traffic controller suspended

CNN - Mike Ahlers - ‎4 hours ago‎

Washington (CNN) -- The Federal Aviation Administration suspended Saturday yet another air traffic controller for sleeping on the job, the seventh apparent incident this year the agency has disclosed.



HAVANA - Raul Castro proposed term limits Saturday for Cuban politicians - including himself - a remarkable gesture on an island ruled for 52 years by him and his brother. The 79-year-old president lamented the lack of young leaders in government, saying the country was paying the price for errors made in the past.

Castro told delegates to a crucial Communist Party summit that he would launch a "systematic rejuvenation" of the government. He said politicians and other important officials should be restricted to two consecutive five-year terms, including "the current president of the Council of State and his ministers" - a reference to himself.
