I am starting a new job on Friday and will no longer be able to blog. I’ve been thrilled by the interest the site has generated and by the dispassionate, thoughtful analysis of its readers, who range across the ideological spectrum. I hope the positive response to this site in the blogosphere and media will encourage others with the requisite language and cultural expertise to undertake similar endeavors. Please drop me a line if you do.
I will keep the site online so that others can benefit from the primary source material I’ve gathered. And you can still reach me through the contact page.
Thank you for reading and responding.

This is very sad news. Although the good news is that you are not letting the site die, the bad news is that the man behind it all is leaving. I thanked you when you first started this blog, and I thank you now for all the work you have done. Hopefully you and Andrew Exum are distant relatives, and you will be drawn back to this site.
