Closing with Buchman

Lynn R. reads of a man who confessed to trying to kill Osama Bin-Laden. The Taliban caught him. The U.S. found him and promised to release him. Then they sent him to Guantánamo. He was there for some time, then released two years ago. His poem is very, very short.

Now the Redgraves stand to bow. The reading is over? Wow, that was fast. Good - well-produced - but fast.

The applause goes on and on, not abating for a full minute and a half.

Allan Buchman takes the stage again and announces that Culture Project is in the process of producing an event for the United Nations, for Human Rights Day (I think?). December 10, 2008 - save the date.

And... we're done. Gotta get that book.
