Notes
1 One of the discomforts of returning to the USA after working nearly two decades abroad is the normalcy surrounding shows of “gratitude” to “our” troops. That audiences roar approval for a couple of military personnel they do not know, who stand uncomfortably out on a baseball field during the seventh-inning stretch, shocks me; and when I fail to stand and bellow with everyone else, I get gum thrown into my hair.
