The Katkov Affair: How a Roofer/Librarian Became a Cold War Spy

Biographie de John Pansini

                                  - John compares himself to Mark Twain & Ernest Hemingway. Some people call him delusional. He calls himself confident.                     - John says he's "a model railroad hobbyist." In other words, he likes to play with toy trains.                     - John keeps a 20 gallon commune of tropical fish. The fish are happy; they co-exist peacefully; they're healthy & well-fed.
John & the fish prefer live plants.                    Unlike the ocean, no plastic is allowed in their water!                     - John likes to cook. It's a means to an end. He really, really, really loves to eat!                     - Despite a B. S. from City College of New York & a Master's Degree in Library & Information Science from St. John's University,                    to feed himself & his cats, John bangs nails for a living.
Like the great John Henry, another steel driving man, John Pansini will be buried with his hammer in his hands.                     - John loves all animals, great or small; especially cats; especially his cats: Spooky (female 17), Cloud (male 12) and Alvin (a little orange terror, 6).                     - John is still single. No woman he ever wanted ever wanted him.
