This afternoon, I am off to teach students from both

old and new Europe at a “Europe and Liberty” summer seminar being held

at the THEODOR-HEUSS-AKADEMIE in Gummersbach, Germany by the Paris-based

Institute for Economic Studies. For the next week, I expect to be

posting from there. I am most curious about the reactions of these

liberal (in the European sense) students from throughout Europe to

recent international events. We usually have as many students from

eastern as from western Europe, though it varies a lot. Drinking

sessions at the pub should be even more interesting than usual this

year.
