I first met Mikhail Gorbachev in 1992 in Kyoto, Japan, when he was less than one year out of office. Although we went on to work together in a different capacity for close to two years, for this particular visit I served as his aide-de-camp. And at one point he took me aside and explained that he and his wife Raisa wanted to host a small dinner party for the various musicians who were performing in connection with the conference we were all attending.
