Always interesting

Ms. Goldsmith comes in nearly every Friday, and always has interesting questions. She wants information about organizations connected with Arab-Israeli, Arab-Jewish dialogue. Today she told me that earlier this year the Kennedy Center had had a show on arts of the Arab World. Indeed, Arabesque.

She wanted to know about its sponsors.
