Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry
Read the story here. Here’s the paragraph that would make clicking through worthwhile, if you’re still undecided:
If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.

A Little Side Project of Mine
As if I needed another blog! This one’s dedicated to translating some of the never-before-translated work of the French neo-Romantic poet Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac and member of the Académie française.
Everyone knows Cyrano, of course, but much of Rostand’s lyric work has never been read in English before. I’m trying to change that, one poem at a time. ( 7 comments)

Crap. Another site to add to the blogroll…
Cool indeed.
Get on it, Mark!
You should have warned us that it was on NRO, though.
Joseph,
I’m with you. I’m now stuck between the immovable object that is my loathing of National Review and the irresistible force that is Reihan. Why didn’t he get Douthat’s old spot at The Atlantic?
Oh c’mon – NRO isn’t *that* bad. Besides, I would read Maxim if they published Salam.
NRO just got a whole lot better, to be sure. And Manzi’s over there at the Corner, remember. They weren’t all bad to begin with. Just mostly.
Wonder why he didn’t get a spot at the Atlantic though? Wonder who will?
Will,
And then what you would have to tell people you only read Maxim for the articles?
