Since I've sometimes complained when news stories about linguistic research are misleading or false, it's a pleasure to cite one that is really well done. Joann Loviglio has written an AP newswire piece about David Harrison's work on Chulym, here as published by USA Today, that gets everything right, as far as I can tell. David Harrison (who pointed the story out to me) is happy with it, which is the best indication of its accuracy.
