Horton's Leaving

Scott Horton, the resident blogger at Harper's is hanging up his hat. It's sad. He was a must-read (weekly) for me. He says that blogging was too time consuming. My two cents is that he didn't actually understand that blogging was supposed to be a bunch of brief comments. Instead, he would write long long pieces. It was a newspaper/magazine article every day! And always linked to some high-culture quote from an ancient or classical text! Often requiring translation.

Anyway, I hope he keeps a regular column for Harper's. He was a valuable resource.
