The Economist is one of my regular reads, despite my disagreement with it on the occasional position. However, it is an exceedingly well written magazine, with the cleverness of some of its headings being just one reason.
A leader (opinion piece) in the current issue discusses the future Obama administration. It is entitled "Great Expectations". Two of its sections are entitled "Our Mutual Friends" and "Hard times and a bleak House".
The references are to Dickens novels-Great Expectations, Hard Times, Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend. Couldn't help a quiet chuckle.
