50 Windows on Eurasia and Note to Readers
NOTE: Because of a deterioration in my health, I will not be able to produce Windows at the same rate or even every day as I have in the past. My doctors advise that there will be days ahead when I won’t be able to produce any at all or significantly fewer than I have in the past. At the same time, I will do what I can for as long as I can. Paul Goble
