Three Cheers for Cyrus

My buddy Cyrus just won a Soros Fellowship. He is well on his way to becoming a public intellectual.

Oh, wait, he is already. Check out these op-eds Cyrus has written on the Military Commissions Act and, most recently (and interestingly) the federal lawsuit to make American currency recognizable to the blind. I had no idea, but over 180 countries already take measures--such as using raised ink or differently-sized bills--allowing the blind to easily distinguish different denominations of their currency.
