Dear Noam,

I spent just one hour with you - well, actually I managed to stretch it out to an hour an a half - three years ago, when I interviewed you about John F Kennedy. I remember with great clarity virtually the whole of that interview, and in sequence, and I remember how on several occasions you made me reassess the questions I was asking. In that brief encounter I learnt not just about the subject of our discussion, but important lessons about precision, truth and the importance of selecting the questions one asks.

Others have commented on your extraordinary readiness to take time to reply personally to emails, and this has been my experience, too. I have had occasion to write to you on several occasions since we met, and each time you replied with courtesy and a clear desire to help.

It is hard for me to realise that you are about to turn 80 - your approach to life remains so fresh and spirited.

I wish you and your family great happiness at this time, and many more years of combative optimism.

Happy Birthday Noam Chomsky!

Now for my shameful admission - I once kept a book of yours from my local library for more than five years - that was 5 years in which I denied others a chance to read your work. For that I am truely sorry!

Dear Noam Chomsky,

I was born in France, and living now in Canada.
I discover your work in 1999, with the Manufacturing Consent documentary.
I meet you in Porto Alegre, but at this time I had too much questions to ask you to really talk to you.
Your work give me so much answers, so much way to look at,
that after that I will never be the same.

Thanks to your unwearies activities for justice, peace and development of humankind.
You inspire us!
Thanks also for the comprehensive description of what is happening in the middle-east.

I wish you again a happy birthday!
Enjoy a good health too!

By the way, Boston is the best place about various book I don't find in France. A very mixed cultural place.

Amicalement
Alain Bernard
