I've been in contact with Gov. Schweizer's scheduler to get him to come to
Moscow in the Fall and give a presentation for the American Constitution
Society at the UI College of Law.  His scheduler seems very optimistic about
the prospect.  I wonder if any V20 folks or just folks in the community
would be interested in attending. . .

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another
theory which states that this has already happened.
