You’ve got to admire a guy who can describe different global trade missions as Hollywood movies — one funny, the other a cliffhanger.

“1987 was fun and novel adventure, like a Hope and Crosby travel caper,” he wrote in an email. “Today the mood is serious, more a James Bond movie, where the future of the free world is at stake.”
