I know he was offered a position with the CIA around that time because I remember eavesdropping on a conversation my mother and he had about then. She was adamantly against it and he didn't take it. Why we were there in 1969 was that my father worked as a guide on an exhibit sponsored by the State Department. It's the "Education USA" exhibit listed for 1969-1970 here: http://www.state.gov.../ci/rs/c26473.htm We didn't stay for the second half because of my mother. My dad had actually arranged for me to continue on with another guide, but my mother would not tolerate that. My brother and I both wanted to stay. We actually cried when we were told we had to go back to America.

Years ago someone pointed out how math books will have titles like "Math" or "Beginning Algebra", chemistry books will have titles like "Introduction to Chemistry" or "Chemical Concepts", but history books have titles like "The American Century" or "Manifest Destiny". I'd love to see the titles of the books they were using in Moscow in the late 60s. -- Drew

Of course, since you are a single connection away from me, I wonder how you now feel about it. You are now in the crosshairs due to association. Sorry about that.
