THE ECONOMIST: ON SALE THIS WEEK

Given its recent track record of not appearing in Thailand, I felt there was a reasonable chance this week's edition of The Economist would not make an appearance here. I was wrong. Copies are on sale in Bangkok today.
The two words that could have caused a problem, in my opinion, were "deeply unpopular" in the story Angels with Bloody Hands. That story can be seen here. In the past the magazine's circulation in Thailand has been disrupted for similar phrases within stories.
Perhaps things are now changing in Thailand? Or perhaps because this isn't a cover story none of those involved in the distribution of the magazine in Thailand have actually read this piece?
