"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Overspecialized

'Kathryn Elizabeth Slanski, a lecturer on Assyriology at Yale, was married yesterday to Eckart Erich Marcel Frahm, an assistant professor of Assyriology there.... Ms. Slanski and Mr. Frahm met in 1998 at an academic conference on Assyriology at Yale, where each had heard the other present a paper in their field. Two years later they met again at the same conference, held this time in Paris, and then at Yale again in February 2002, when both were finalists for the assistant professorship now held by the bridegroom.'
