Howard's talk was mentioned in an article in today's Düsseldorf paper. It said that he was the one many wished could be president, even now (instead of you-know-who), not to mention his 2004 campaign, and what he did as Governor of Vermont. It spoke very highly of him and the subjects he covered in his address.

I don't know how (it wasn't me, so it must have been Howard), but the only other two people mentioned in the article were the mayor of Düsseldorf and me. Why me, I don't know, although the organizers probably told the press when they asked who the guy was who obviously knew Howard better than a casual acquaintance. Howard told them who I was, and they might have passed it on.
