Well, if it is not intruding on the territory of the most-excellent Eastern European ping list, I think that after the income-tax season is over (April 15), I will start an "Albania ping list," so as to illuminate others about this remarkable little country.
The late journalist from the New York Times, Cyrus Sulzberger, in his very long book "A Long Row of Candles" (published 1969), wrote a great deal about Albania as it was in 1930-1940; utterly fascinating.
The Tosks, the Ghegs, King Zog, the Italians, all that.
What was amusing was the story of the assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's prospective assassianee; a true-life drama with all its characters from Albania, but the events taking place in.....Czechoslovakia.
Albania, a remarkable country and people.
Excellent. Please include me on the list. I'm sometimes sporadic here, but would love to be included anyway.
