BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO! to Beryl Wajsman and the team - including Wednesday Nighters Anthony Philbin, Robert Galbraith, Julius Grey and Brigitte Garceau (the latter we presume is tasked to keep them out of trouble) - of The Metropolitain. The speed with which the concept has become a […]

Wednesday Night Goes Global - or at least partially!
On Wednesday April 2, a select group of Wednesday Nighters will gather in Athens on the first day of the New School of Athens (NSOA) Conference Athens-3 organized by Kimon Valaskakis OWN. Jaime Webbe and Cleo Paskal are participating in the Panel on Globalisation and Security: […]

As Diana’s computer has a serious malaise, this message is subject to a brief window of opportunity. Thus, it is short and with none of the usual links to major stories (you will have to do your own homework - but we’ll make it up to you).
