...Slim. I am competing with the readers' affection for a dead strip whose body is still warm. The readers and editors are mad and don't seem to be in a mood for anything but the old meadow and dandelions. But until I am booted off the page, I am having a ball.

...drama of two men in the blustery Mediterranean closing the book on 40 years of animosity is one of the surprises that history deals up in this strange world. "The changes are so monumental. So different. But it did not seem overwhelming when we sat down. Two reasonable people sat down with their staffs. Even the contentious matters were brought up without rancor.
