To know nothing of what happened before you were born is to remain ever a child--Cicero
A few things you may not know about Karl Zinsmeister, TAE's outgoing editor in chief:
* Karl rowed for Yale's college champion crew team. He was quoted in Sports Illustrated grunting.
* At the Henley Regatta prize ceremonies, Karl sneaked a water pistol onto the platform and tried to squirt royal English personages.
* Karl and Ann, his lovely wife, fell in love in a Tanzanian prison. They were in Africa as part of a corps of idealistic young persons building a school--though not, as you will guess, the Peace Corps. Karl wandered out of camp with Ann on a sightseeing lark. They crossed the border into Marxist Tanzania. Perhaps due to his unfashionable military-like haircut, Karl was arrested by Tanzanian police as a spy. He and Ann spent four unsettling days in the hoosegow before Julius Nyerere's finest determined that he was merely a college kid with a poor sense of direction. She married him anyway.
