LITERARY NOTES - AT 11:25 P.M. ET:   Well-informed reader Will Stroock has an article in the August 2009 issue of Military Heritage, about the Soviet experience in Afghanistan.  Read the first part here.  The remainder is in the print edition, available at large bookstores like Borders or Barnes & Noble.  Very good stuff.

Also, although there's been no official announcement, it appears that the neoconservative New York Sun, which had to fold last year under economic pressure, is back with a limited online edition.  Find it here.  Only some of the sections are back, but the start is good, and worthwhile.
