and breaking into print publication. I'll post from the road if there
are any breaking developments related to the assistance creature story I wrote for the New York Times Magazine, which I've been doing regular follow ups on here.
But otherwise, I'll start with what will be ongoing occasional posts
from the Culture Dish archives (which it turns out can't be imported
here because of incompatibilities between this system and Blogger).
You'll know then when you see them because this "Oldies But Goodies"
icon will appear somewhere in the post. Happy reading. Search
