P.S. This week the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) hosted a lecture on the document theft case of Barry Landau and Jason Savedoff. The lecture was streamed live on UStream and my Twitter question was read and answered live on air. Pretty exciting to hear my first name uttered from a NARA venue. In the words of Anna Roueche, “Go me!”
