  1. I read one book from the library. Guess I am not in the same league. :)

  2. I said we "covered" the material, not that I "read" it all. There is a lot left for later, like after I get home. We take turns assigning the detailed case briefings in our study group. This week it was decided that I, as the American, should be the one to lead discussion on the book "13 Days" about Robert Kennedy. I guess I'll have to actually read at least part of it (I was really hoping to avoid that one).
