Sidney also provides us with another of his tales — this one on Agnes McCloskey and penny-pinching in External.

The Subcontinent has long provided the stuff for many a good story. Bill Warden describes the diplomacy of air-clearances on the New Delhi Runway, Christopher Westdal recalls a modest expedition to Bangladesh, while William Brett reflects on romance in the days of the Raj.
Negotiations on contract and the FSDs have broken down. PAFSO News looks at the reasons why. To stream or not to stream? That is the question looked at in a paper prepared originally for the PAFSO Executive. You decide.
Keep the letters coming and have a good summer.
