WTF? Is it time to replace employees with droids?
Lenovo has boffins? What the heck are they, creatures from Lord of the Rings? Some kind of exotic bird? Wait, the dictionary says it's BRITISH SLANG. Well, you can just keep your esoteric BRITISH SLANG over there on your little island, buster, because we don't need no stinking BRITISH SLANG over here in America, or the rest of the world for that matter. If you can't write in standard English so English speakers around the world can understand it, just press your DELETE key (no matter what size it is) and go do something else. *grumble* damned Recoats *grumble*
Sir Rodney: The peasants are revolting!

"Men of Mathematics," by Eric Temple Bell, presents short biographies of over two dozen well-known, mainstream mathematicians down through history. According to Wikipedia, "To keep the interest of readers, the book typically focuses on unusual or dramatic aspects of its subjects' lives. While Men of Mathematics has inspired many young people, including a young John Forbes Nash Jr., to become mathematicians, it is not known for the accuracy of its historical scholarship." But that wouldn't keep interested students from reading it!
Seconding "The World of Mathematics" by James R. Newman. If you have any students who are bright and curious, these four volumes provide endless opportunities to explore. They are well written and are still in print as paperbacks, but kinda pricey. For your classroom, I'd suggest a used set of the hardback printing, available used in good condition for cheap.
The OP and TFA talk about "All Koreans... in Korea the entire country... the Korean economy."
I guess I missed the news that South Korea and North Korea had laid aside their differences and united. Damn, why didn't Slashdot carry that news?
...published in a respected economics journal...
Economists, meh. Who trusts them now? Look at the mess they got us into.
You will have many recoverable tape errors.
