Jim Lieberman informed me of James Fallows blog 
entry on Zamenhof's 150th, a fallows-up to his 
1986 article on Esperanto in the Atlantic Monthly:


Felica Naskotago, Dro. Zamenhof!

There's no real substance here, but also no 
mockery, unless one takes one of the links 
provided as mockery. It is, though, just a blog 
toss-off, not a considered essay on the subject. 
And publicity alone is good publicity. One can 
rarely expect more than vacuity in the zombie 
mass media world, even for a middlebrow audience. 
If Fallows were to become more intimately 
involved with Esperanto, would he perform Fallotio?
