The known death toll in southeast Asia from the earthquake and the tsunamis that followed it has now grown to over 76,000, perhaps over 100,000 and perhaps as many as 80,000 on Sumatra alone, and still climbing. It may be the most destructive natural disaster in recent world history. I am asking my colleagues to join me and our friends at Crooked Timber in allowing this notice of places to send our contributions for relief to remain at the top at Cliopatria for the rest of the day.
