It is rainy and cold in Paris, and my French cousins, Andre and Jacqueline Zarembowitch [retired science professors] are joining us for dinner, so I shall have to postpone the next Part of the Micro-Tutorial until tomorrow. Andre's grandfather and my great grandfather were brothers, from the little Polish town of Souvalki. Most of the Zarembowitch family stayed in Paris, while my great-grandfather, Abram, decided to continue on to the New World. The immigration official at Castle Garden [predecessor to Ellis Island] decided that "Zarembowitch" was not an American name, so he renamed us the Wolff family [after my great-uncle Wolff Zarembowitch, who met Abram at the boat.]
A bientot.

About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

As the child of an immigrant, I find myself offended on your behalf.
