The NYT posted a fine graphic — http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/15/us/politics/DEBATE.html — showing references between candidates, using a slick and informative network diagram. Shows how useful a bird’s eye view can be, but still allow diving into the details.

But are all the debate transcripts represented?

Bibleworks 8 has been announced. Details are available at the Bibleworks website (http://www.bibleworks.com/). Looks like a few more databases (mostly non-English and non-original language), some cross-reference functionality, and the inclusion of previously for-fee Greek and Hebrew grammars. Need to look more closely to see if it’s worth the $150 upgrade from version 7.
