I am running because we have a full schedule of interviews coming up and I have to prepare.

Are you interested in any comments about the President's press conference last night? What are your reactions? What you would like to have heard more about?

Did you find the President's remarks persuasive, credible, interesting?

And, I am interested in the media angle. How did you think our colleagues handled themselves with the questioning?

Please don't for get our book series for the summer. We're looking for suggestions. How shall we organize it, and with what themes? What genre? What part of the world?

We tend to be more open to fiction in the summer (mainly because we believe that people have more time on their hands and also, it has to be said, because we largely ignore it the rest of the year), but we are open to any suggestions. Well just about any.

Cheers ...
