I’m glad to have the story appear over at Civil Beat, where it will reach a broader audience than my blog can aspire to.

Actually, I had intended to write it for CB originally, but had trouble pulling it together and missed all of my own internal deadlines. That’s how it ended up as a couple of blog posts when it finally came together.

Here’s the Civil Beat headline on today’s Part 1.

Part 1 is available at Civil Beat today, and Part 2 will follow tomorrow.
