Problem is, I&#8217;m nowhere near as good a shot as Jack. I tried a few years back in Russia, when they took me out for a Siberian biathlon shoot, but I couldn&#8217;t hit the broad side of a troika. So what do I do? Challenge him to a writing contest? I wouldn&#8217;t even want to judge that myself. Anyway&#8230; it&#8217;s all good publicity for the book. (No, I don&#8217;t know Tim Shipman or anybody at the UK Telegraph, but they all get great complimentary martinis&#8230; or something.)]]>Sat, 10 Jan 2009 17:34:11 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
