In case you missed it, here is my conversation "in the green room" with Swati Pandey of Zocalo and a link to a summary and video of my lecture last week in L.A. It was held before a packed house at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown, and people had wonderful and thoughtful questions. The whole thing was such an honor, and such fun. Thanks for coming through.
* ALSO: Here is the Zocalo wrap of the event the following night with Arturo Sarukhán, Mexico's ambassador to Washington. Sarukhán apparently joked that Barack Obama and Felipe Calderón are similar because "They're both lefties, both their wives are lawyers, and they got married the same year."
Um, Felipe Calderón is far, far from being anywhere near a lefty. I wonder if Sarukhán was merely willing to gamble that most people in the audience wouldn't pick up on that. Sarukhán was an appointee of conservative Vicente Fox and actually left Mexico's foreign service to campaign for Calderón in the highly contested 2006 elections.
