 Lingua Franca Nova
Lingua Franca was a pidgin or trade language that flourished in the Mediterranean from perhaps as early as the 1300's until perhaps as late as the 1800's.
It was a blend of Italian, Provençal (or Occitan, the language of southern France), and Catalan (the language of the east coast of Spain).
By basing LFN on the Romance languages, I am appealing to a very large number of people who either speak those languages or are familiar with them -- including most Europeans, North and South Americans, Australians, and many people in Africa and Asia.

While the Czech authorities reacted to Zelezny's takeover of Nova TV earlier this year with indifference, alarm is now spreading after Ronald Lauder has decided to demand USD 500 million damages from the Czech state under the terms of the Czech-American agreement on the protection of investment in the other country.
Zelezny will not give up TV Nova and the other Czech commercial TV, the loss-making Prima, will not be given up by the IPB bank - according to unconfirmed, but recurrent voices, even this TV station is controlled by Zelezny through his contacts in IPB.

I think a lot of it has to do with how my generation was sort of tempted by graduate school, but was also somewhat disenchanted by both the horror of the academic job market and some of the dominant trends in certain departments.
They both set different but stimulating models for how one can take academic evidence, argumentation, obsession, and turn it into kinds of writing that are not strictly what we once used in an academic journal, and reach a small but really highly receptive audience.
I really got to spend several months looking back over the history of the magazine, writing an introduction, giving my own sort of history of what the magazine was about, and what was going on in academia in the '90s.
