cheating on the news diet

There was a newspaper in English. I couldn´t help it. I haven´t read anything but poorly translated signs in English in 3 weeks.

Trust me, I have learned my lesson.

I now know quite a bit about a college graduates in Iraq and how they are fleeing the country after having attended school while their country was at war for 4 years. I know about a particular university in Baghdad where there was a bomb, and they buried the dead in a mass grave in a courtyard. I know about insipid accusations traded amongst squabbling Democratic candidates. I know that the murder rate is up in major U.S. cities.
