I spent a lot of my time working in the American module, and he would stay in the Russian segment working on his things, and we'd meet up at meal times. So it actually worked out very well. ↗

Republican politics have been off-kilter for several years now because a large segment of the conservative base does not look back fondly on the Bush presidency. ↗

Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence. ↗
