Our 2nd day in Cambridge was quite busy. We started off with what is apparently a required Cambridge activity: punting on the river along 7 of the major Colleges. Not only do you get to enjoy the beautiful view of the colleges and gardens, but you also get to hear about the various anecdotes related to the colleges and their famous students. … Read more

A review by M. Baier, author of The Fire Escape is Locked for Your Safety: On the Road in the Former Soviet Union
When my sister and I drove through the green and golden countryside of southeastern Poland and western Ukraine in the summer of 1998, it seemed as if we were lost in a time warp. Village boys played soccer while the family cows nibbled grass on the shoulder of the two-lane road, farmers dangled their legs from horse-drawn wooden wagons on their way home from the fields, and the regional capital of Lviv was slowly emerging from the decades of Communist decay. … Read more
The post screening discussion at the Landmark E Street Premiere on May 10th was moderated by Nadia Diuk of the National Endowment for Democracy. Before opening the floor to questions, she shared with us and with the audience her thoughts on the film, the complex history of Galicia and the takeaway lessons for anyone involved in supporting democracy.

The Winter issue of the American magazine recently published an article about us as part of their new “Wonk Campaign.”
When we were first approached by the writer/editor of the magazine with this interview request, we have to admit that we had to do some research. We’re wonks? That sounds cool, but exactly does it mean?
We found out that first of all, if you try spelling KNOW backwards, you get WONK. … Read more
