It is easy to forget about,or ignore, the new reality in the US when you are European, even though I consider myself quite well informed on the matter.
But you want to look away, just to console yourself.
And then your note comes by, a note from someone who cannot ignore, who cannot look away, because he has to go back “home”.
My thoughts go out to you Douglas, and to every US scholar whether in the US or abroad, facing the same anxiety.
This note is heartbreaking.
Not one word you said here is exaggerated
