    I've noticed that too. Yet, I thought it was reasonable to remove the sentence about Boston to avoid touching the fresh wound and not upset American readers.

    Was the real reason "avoid touching fresh wound"?
    Or maybe "Don't remind Americans that the NSA is spying on all U.S. citizens BUT failed to spy on the terrorists"?

    Thank you for that link! Fascinating.
    Вот потому, что вы говорите то, что не думаете, и думаете то, что не думаете, вот в клетках и сидите. И вообще, весь этот горький катаклизм, который я здесь наблюдаю, и Владимир Николаевич тоже…

    I read the author of this column weekly. She points out lots of language goodies. Highly recommended!
