Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* CR favorite Matthias Wivel weighs in on the Yale University Press/censorship matter with a fine post here.

* the writer Diana West -- with whom I'm completely unfamiliar, so if her work has a context that's obvious to everyone but me, I apologize -- pens a longish piece on the potential that Yale's decision may have something to do with making a play for various sources of endowment fundage within the Muslim world as opposed to what's been claimed by the school. (I really hate that just getting into this stuff puts me on the side of dudes who wear bowties.)

* finally, I suspected as much despite the spin of the first news announcement: author Jytte Klausen supports the decision.
