As time goes by, fewer and fewer Americans are familiar with Casablanca. Is it then any wonder that Trump was elected?

Looks like you had a productive year, and I'm glad this year introduced your work to me. I'm especially pleased to see "Hannah Arendt on the New Right" as a reminder of the totalitarian mentality that clings to ex-Communists, and its current manifestations.

"What Remains" inspired me to look for the correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger, Stanford has the original German, and I found it rather devastating in ways. I saw the letters about reading Zauberberg together. Some commentators, smarter than me.\, think "Sein und Zeit" was influenced by discussions with HA and remained his best work the rest of his life. And that Zauberberg influenced his concept of Zeit. I'll be interested in your thought on Zauberberg...Elena
