From the beginning of this Greenland thing, I've been wondering if they're trying to thread the crown protectorate/OTAN republic needle, but apparently that's not borne out by the political status. Interesting well documented back-story on past strategic efforts there, occasionally involving notes on napkins.
Adaptation of War and Peace at the national theatre. Noticed for the first time that the gilded bas-relief above the proscenium has a violin on one side and a balalaika on the other. East and West. I have a peculiar fondness for this city, as it was the first that Strether escaped to a few years ago after the crescendo in difficulties states-side. Much has changed in the interval, and it's no longer the brief, blissful freedom in a mysterious place in the short period after an absolutely random jump, but it's still a great place to be.
