To augment this announcement.  I have visited this library in Norfolk
and it is absolutely gorgeous;  it forms the backdrop for the BBC
anchorman newscast every night.  Not the version we see here by the UK
version.  Believe you can  see it on the web.  The Fulbright position is
highly respected in the area and the fortunate recipient will have a
wonderful year.
