I had a great time giving my talk at SOAS hosted by Parvathi Menon & Catriona Drew of the Centre for the Study of Colonialism, Empire & International Law.
Stayed at my favorite little Fitzrovia hotel that used to be the home of Pre-Raphaelite painter, John Everett Millais.

Last night, Iván Argüelles gave an amazing poetry reading at City Lights. Looking frail from recent health challenges, his readings were anything but--he gave a strong sense of his incredibly versatile imagination, wonderfully allusive writing, and inquiries into the deepest thoughts of the soul.

35 years ago--not-very-festive Dukakis “Election Night Festivities.”
I did debate research in Widener, digging up liberal bills by Bush père, Prescott Bush--so that Dukakis could parry attacks about his positions being “outside the mainstream.” Tom Donilon told me Dukakis thought it too “dirty.”
