How safe is Mr.Kasparov going back to his country to live considering how outspoken & in the public eye he is?
Garry I'm stuck at 1500; any sugestions? But in all seriousness. Congratulations on all your success, brilliant ideas and critical insight on world politics. And thanks for going as far as even endangering your life standing up for democracy and the rule of law.

This is just one example of why I am such an ardent listener to and supporter of NPR Radio! Thanks.
