Thank you for your kind words.  I have not visited Virginia, but I have
been to Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Long Island, and
parts of Illinois.

I was greeted with the utmost courtesy in all of these places bar one -
Long Island, NY (My host excepted).  A local newspaper in Pontiac, Ill,
even put my picture in, and the sherrif was most friendly.

As for burning crosses mentioned by Alex, we have just had reports that
the Klan are recruiting in England ...
