Dear patient readers,
This is the last big holiday weekend of the summer in the US, and many Europeans are also on August breaks, presumably not returning till Monday or perhaps even later in the week. We went a bit light on posts yesterday and will continue to do so through and including Monday. But you’ll get your usual Links and two additional pieces each day. World events are not obligingly falling off much, so we will keep you current!
And those of you who are or will soon be on a mini vacation, enjoy your break!
