Enduring America's Summer Break

We'll be on limited service until Sunday, as some of us recharge batteries (and reassure loved ones that we have lives away from the Internet) and others move into new houses. Do keep checking in, however: today we've got a morning update from Iran, a special up-to-the-minute analysis of the division between the Supreme Leader and President Ahmadinejad, and a feature on the American detained in Iran, social scientist Kian Tajbakhsh. There's also an article from John Matlin remembering the late, great reporter Walter Cronkite and lamenting the decline of US journalism. Mike Dunn will be minding the shop for your comments and ideas.

Thanks to all of you who, by reading, commenting, and sending ideas, have made Enduring America a success, as we celebrate another record month for pageviews.
