Clay-- feel like sending this to the Pres himself? I am in contact with several of my colleague former Fulbright Korea English Teaching Assistants, and could probably get a joint signed letter going using (and crediting, of course) the bulk of your writing here.
I don't know why I am doomed to pick up your kindly free press days and weeks after it's posted. Thank you, Clay. Enjoying your new soapbox. :)
