Things I learnt in The Economist this week
The UK's aircraft carriers tend to sail around without any planes on them. Don't tell the Henry 'Scoop' Jackson Society. Talking of which, Jackson's most prominent piece of legislation, the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, remains in force.
Oh, and Britain only had its first Papal Ambassador in the 1980s.
