For the next couple of weeks I’ll be leaving the storied halls of the stately Mead manor on a European trip to Turkey, Germany and Italy.  Ably assisted by the tech wizards at The American Interest and Sam the official Team Intern at the vast and sprawling Mead Global HQ, I’ll be blogging from the road as best I can on my trusty laptop.  Wednesday is likely to be a particularly light blogging day as I’ll be in transit; regularly scheduled blogging will, I hope, resume on Thursday.
