2025 will be a big year for my next book — interviews, travel, archival research.
If you have memories of Moscow 1980 or LA 1984, or the boycotts that affected both, drop me a line.

Just finished this by @tsjphillips.bsky.social - a wonderful and informative read, full of Cold War stories and their legacies that I knew nothing of. A true education, with a closing paragraph that could not be more apposite.
