Dear Chas,
Here is an article I did for the Brown Journal of World Affairs. It is a bit academic, but it may be of interest to Salon readers.
I forgot to mention in our last communication that it was great to see Margaret at Sally Shelton's home for a nice brunch a few weeks ago. She was in good spirits and recounted the tough year you have been through. It sounds as though you are doing well now and thinking about moving to New Hampshire. Good for you!
Best, Brian
