Editor’s Note: The Papers will continue in the abbreviated form you’ve seen a lot of recently for the foreseeable future, though I intend to still include an item of the day or multiple items on some days when circumstances warrant and I have the time and energy. I will also still write the occasional long column. But on a lot of days, it will be like what it’s been lately. I have to pull back. I hope to write about what’s happening with me and the site, which will continue, though not as robustly, in the coming weeks. (I’m not dying or anything, it’s not that dramatic.) I hope you’ll still keep reading, even if the column/site isn’t what it used to be. A further explanation is forthcoming. Thanks.
