The Clark Kent of NYU made a very specific appointment to meet me at an
NYU classroom before a public seminar. He was very, very insistent that
a face-to-face meeting would demonstrate he's really just a nice old man
who's funnin' with us.

Needless to say, he never showed up, subsequently invoking a
"translation emergency" in mitigation.

used that term?
