What day of the week is On Language printed. I no longer get the
print version of the IHT and I don't know if I can read the feature
columns on-line, but it would help if I knew which day of the week's
archive to sift through (I vaguely remember that it's the same in the
IHT and the NYT).
Thanks!
Aaron
