Writes Russ Lytton:

If it is not too late to enumerate the things we can be thankful for at this time of year, I’ll add my grateful appreciation for LRC’s searchable archives, Lew.  I have to admit I’m struggling a little (more) today after the official Af-Pak troop escalation announcement, but I found this little jewel today, somewhat serendipitously. And the oasis presents itself once more!
