I was a Visiting Lecturer in American Literature with a (Baghdad University/Texas University) Fulbright Exchange Program in 1966-67 and a Guest Lecturer for the American Authors Lecture Series for the United States Information Service in Iraq.
Carole Chaney Farrington and I co-authored and published "Baghdad Letters" in 2003, a collection of letters and journals we wrote in 1966-67 while in Iraq.
