Putin at the Paris Air Show

Putin at the Paris Air ShowI was talking to a prospect in Hall 4 when his colleague came up and said "Putin is here." I ran to the Russian stalls across the aisle. My prospect ran there, too, and we lost each other. When we met again we didn't have to apologize to each other because everyone who had heard had rushed to see the Russian leader.

I had a moment for a better picture than this, but I spent it gazing at him, at his pale face, his pale eyes, his clean countenance, and his utter calm.
