Going "Fallow(s)" this week

A program note: in the upcoming week I will be guest-blogging, along with Xujun Eberlein, Bruce Holmes and Chuck Spinney, on James Fallows' blog, while Fallows goes to the writing mat to finish a book.  Quite an interesting crew (bios here) so please happen by to bone up on Chinese and American literature (Eberlein), aviation (Holmes), defense strategy (Spinney) and anything else these folks care to ruminate on, while I concentrate more or less on presidential rhetoric past and present.  I will link here to new posts of mine as they go up, and may post here on subjects other than presidential pronouncements as well.
