When you see him next, please pass along how much I enjoyed "If Angels Fight" in Feb 2008 F&SF. I read it on a long flight recently, and really enjoyed the subtle, controlled storytelling. When I got back home from the trip, I was moved enough to try to send him an email, but the only address I could find bounced back to me.
This was a great story, and I wanted him to know people were still out there enjoying it.
On topic: Another major and often unrealized power of the presidency is deciding what foreign countries will receive what kinds of free military aid and how much. Of particular interest to many: which countries can buy certain kinds of military equipment from US, regardless of whether they are spending their own money or ours.) I'm optimistic on so many fronts about the country's new direction. And missing NYC a lot at this time of year, but that's another story. :)
