The bi-monthly format for Fiatlux is not working well for me. Therefore, from this time on, I will be adding new articles to the site every few days. For our Participating Authors, the date of the most recent update will be shown in red. For purposes of simplicity, Commentary will be merged with Featured Articles. All articles are selected because they contain rather durable observations whose meaning extends beyond the daily news. Please keep dropping by for a good and meaningful read.
