Image Statement: In 1941, Churchill was asked "What Gives with the Soviet Union"? He answered, "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma". What are we, after all, to one another? Perhaps riddles wrapped in mysteries and enigmas. Incorporated in this piece are questions we might ask about one another and the world around us. Among the questions I might ask are "What is my dog thinking?" "What's fair?"
