You can get a free subscription to WSJ for a couple of weeks just by
signing up. I've read it for years, off and on, and would say 'sure
there are ideas present'. There is always a surplus of ideas around,
and they are very cheap. Funding is another story, very much like
Catch-22. The notices in the back are the most commonly read actually.
