A Journal of Academic Life Halts Publication. Disappointing news in todays New York Times that Lingua Franca is out of business. I have always found something rich and deep whenever I have read it. On the one hand, I think that if anything I have linked to it too little, but perhaps we should’ve been buying subscriptions to the print edition instead of reading it online. Thank heavens, at least, that the related site Arts and Letters Online will continue.[via R.H.]
