We are now 18 (although not in this photo); Azah from Pakistan has arrived, although his luggage hasn't. He is the one in the back between the cutlery and the paper towells. He teaches strategic and defence policy in an all-women's university in Islamabad. He should add something interesting to our on-going gender disputes.

To the left, in the blue shirt, from Venezuala, is Euclides Bastardo. Actually he's not so bad. Waiting in line to administer birthday kisses is Taras, the philosopher from the Ukraine.

Our lectures today were on first, election campaign advertising, and then, the rise of liberalism in American politics. Tomorrow, John Dewey and progressivism.
