Fact of the day- the publication , The Economist began as part of the movement against the Corn Laws, in the 1800s. (In our Time podcast)

( The Corn Laws happened after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, and according to Wikipedia - "The Corn Laws were trade laws designed to protect cereal producers in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland against competition from less expensive foreign imports between 1815 and 1846." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Laws#cite_note-1 )

Very noticeable that it gets dark earlier now.
