I will be in London and Paris in the next couple of weeks. I have gotten in touch with some of you to meet up, but may have missed others. Let me know if you’ll be around and would like to get together.

Today’s quote:
“…the denizens of the heartland, we’re told, are rugged,
self-reliant, committed to family…
…(And what are those of us who live in New Jersey chopped liver?)”
— Paul Krugman, True Blue Americans New York Times (5/7/02)
