On Tuesday I mentioned that Interpreter Email Digest subscribers were getting a new service with an upgraded format, but unfortunately we
New format for The Interpreter's email digest

Reader riposte: More on Reagan and Gorbachev
Simon Gladman responds to Sam Roggeveen's post:
Regarding the Reagan-Gorbachev image...

Long weekend for The Interpreter
Tomorrow is Australia Day, which means we all get Monday off for that little extra sleep and relaxation. Enjoy the long weekend, if you're getting one, and see you Tuesday for the resumption of blogging.

Welcome to 2013
Welcome to 2013 and welcome back to The Interpreter for another year of international policy blogging, which is supposed to start today.
