Security detail
Older
Last night I went once again to Sant Ambroeus. I was seated next to Warren Christopher who was having dinner with a bald man and a young woman who spoke English with an Eastern European accent.
None of the other guests seemed to notice Warren Christopher. I didn’t see any security detail.
After Mr. Christopher left the manager came to my table. “Do you know who sat next to you?” he asked.
“Yes,” I said. “I know.”
The manager shrugged his shoulders. “He is getting older,” the manager said.

And now, like old soldiers, the man is fading away…
I went to a friend some day and happened to meet Bill Clinton by coincedence at the Amsterdam Amstel Hotel. It was fun and inspiring. He was radiating. Shaking hands and giving hugs. Power to the people.
I had a other strange experiance with Bill Clinton.
I had dinner at the Amstel hotel, with a very good friend and at the moment we got our coats in the lobby my friend whispers: 'look, look who's there' and i saw a man with a face red like a tomato, and didn't recognise him at all. Strange.
Warren Christopher has always inspired motherly feelings in me.

I would ask the same. "Let's celebrate this special day for godsake once without my guards, please."
That was a special moment you shared, Arnon.

I once saw Ross Perot when I was eating at 21 (ah, the old days!). He seemed a lot more aggro in person. Dwarf.

This was my first encounter with the word "aggro". Thanks!
