If you view this page regularly you might notice that the pages are looking different each time you come. This is completely a mystery to me. I see it too, and I'm not changing any files...what seems to be happening is that Moveable Type is choking on my page halfway through serving it up... and some of the comments don't show up. For example, Abe Krieger actually responded to my post about his letter to the daily news (!!!), and I responded to it, but they both seem to be invisible at the moment.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll have it fixed as soon as I can, and I really hope that the database that all the entries are in isn't screwed to hell.
