Well, the Russian/American "summit," (as Dana put it) went swimmingly, IMO, and Dmitri, Nikolai, Natalya, Vladimir, et al are going back to the mother country loaded down with our books, CD's, email addresses, and hopefully many warm memories. Len Krisak did a beautiful job as liaison (despite what I predict will be his protestations to the contrary). A privilege to serve as ambassador, and get to know Frank Reeve (a Superman's progenitor indeed!), Jim Kates of Zephyr Press, Professor Evgenia Cherkasova -- these folks were always professional, never, ever stuffy, and they made the sessions a joy, as well as an honor. Finally meeting Tim Murphy and Alan Sullivan, also, was a high point.
Greg, sorry those books are bare! I should have been part of the signing Saturday, but was otherwise occupied at the concert hall and alumni house. I would regret it, but I told a joke in Russian, and made their interpreter, Irina, laugh, so the evening wasn't a total wash...
