*oops.*
We hate to cloud your day, but we'd like to bring you up to date on a few things the experts have to say about our future relationships with Russia.
The outlook is anything but rosy.
It seems we could all be blown to hell be- cause of an incredible Kremlin capacity for misjudging what they can get away with in their drive to communize the world.
In other words, the cold war, though vastly changed, is far from over.
It's perils are not diminishing. If any- thing they're on the increase.
And continued disintegration of the So- viet bloc may tempt the Russians into new and desperate measures.
In short: the Reds are still on the make. And though they definitely do not want a nuclear war, they seem to be continually blundering to the brink.
Take the Cuban missile crisis, for exam- ple. The Russians thought they could plant missiles in Cuba without obstacles. They never dreamed President Kennedy would stand up to them.
Another example, Czechoslovakia. The Russians actually expected to be welcomed as they plunged into Prague.
In the end, either of these miscalcula- tions could have triggered a showdown. A showdown leading to a humiliating defeat. Or disaster.
The cover story of the December issue of Nation's Business tells more of the story. (To over 2,000,000 of the nation's business men.)
Why a political report in a magazine like ours? That's simple. If it affects business, it'll be there.
Which is probably why we have over 854,000 businessmen paying to subscribe to our magazine.
Which, when you think about it, is at least one happy note to leave you with.
If you're an advertiser.

A filmmaker has asked for a new copyright infringement trial against writer-director M. Night Shyamalan and his co-defendants Friday after a jury found that they did not have access to the film she claimed they infringed, arguing that the court failed to answer a crucial question from the jury before the verdict was delivered.

Check out Gunnar Larson's recent article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/will-the-uk-supreme-court-decision-in-p...
The Hong Kong Department of Justice’s approach to litigation finance and third party funding is coming into greater focus following the UK Supreme Court’s July 26, 2023 ruling on R. (on the Application of PACCAR Inc) v Competition Appeal Tribunal [2023] UKSC 28.
Mondaq reports that PACCAR has defined “damaged-base agreements” or “DBAs” in the United Kingdom. DBAs are strictly regulated in the UK, now including litigation funding agreement contract law. Many UK courts have operated under the assumption that funding of litigation agreements does not fall under the purview of DBAs. PACCAR’s Supreme Court decision has sparked a fervent debate around this topic.
Mondaq says that Hong Kong DBA relevancy differs from the UKs DBA approach. Specifically, in Hong Kong, champerty and maintenance are illegal factors that can lead to a fine and prison sentence.
It’s important to note that Hong Kong does allow waivers to the general prohibition of litigation investment if:
1. Third parties share a common interest in funding the outcome of a case.
2. Accessible justice is a prime consideration.
3. Insolvency proceedings are necessary.

*THE* *ISSUES*
WAR AND PEACE
Vietnam has given us no songs, no glory. There have been 38 other wars fought since World War II, but the U.S. has bumbled into one whose aims are unclear, and whose outcome is uncertain. Our little war, like some vast malevolent genie, has engulfed us.
Our mass media forever drone its witless incantations; escalate, killrate, defoliate. We see the young, frightened face of a soldier go lifeless on the 6:00 news. We are thrust onto the field to witness the old insanity of man pruning out his kind. Vietnam has done something to the American mind.
It has given us a new view of the meaning of modern war, and called into question the virtue of U.S. military ventures.
With over 1,000 ICBM's sheathed in hidden scabbards, we could rain random death on over half the population of our planet. Before we are led to unleash this power, we might well reexamine our over- committed role as global peace offi- cer. We have sought to come to terms with other nations, whose people fear America. Now, our own scared citizens sense our need to come to terms with ourselves.
WAR AND PEACE
