Used to seeing law professors walking into the university lecture rooms with effortless-seeming elegance, I always am surprised how much energy it may actually take to have the key and wire for the projector (and return them) and set up the technical facilities (I was helped today).

Recent American overtures to Russia have been watched with interest. How are Washington-Moscow relations likely to develop over the coming decades, with a rapidly emerging China set to complicate this cosier bilateral picture? What will the impact be on Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and the Middle East? And how will and should the European Union respond?
