Any other news? Will send you an update soon.= All goes well. =20 Macedonia surprisingly impressive; green valleys tucked in between snow-dus= ted mountains, neat farms and villages and not as desperately poor as I had= read (at least as this all appeared from the window of the plane). We hap= pened to arrive at the same time Secretary of State Colin Powell; the airpo= rt was surrounded by several helicopters hovering like dragonflies; road in= to town lined with KFOR (from Kosovo, just 30 km away) soldiers and local p= olice; we got delayed for 20 minutes or so as Powell's motorcade passed, re= minding me of a time when I was stuck in a similar traffic jam in Chicago c= aused by the passing of father Bush. While there we met with a pimply-face= d Minister of Transportation and made little progress in our negotiations a= s deal breaking "collateral" issue came up; I had a nice evening stoll thro= ugh the old ruins of an Ottoman fort and dropped in on an Eastern Orthodox = church ceremony (which I found beautiful though a b! it creepy, as the wors= hipping spaces in their churches are small, crowded with the pious and made= to seem further cramped by the smoke of incense and walls completely cover= ed with icons). Heard no gun fire or bomb blasts from the nearby hills, wh= ere recently some Albanian rebels complaining of an absence of political ad= n economic rights had been trying to mess things up a bit. I was told by l= ocal, non-Albanians, that the trouble had been exaggerated by the western p= ress. All very interesting. Details will be in the book!
