	Valdas Adamkus: a Man of Two Worlds - Van Reenan
		To see Valdas Adamkus as "an American who came to Lithuania" would be erroneous, misleading and contrary to evidence that points to the idea that nationality is a subjective spiritual feeling akin to religion.
		When one views Adamkus as a living exemplar of the theory and practice of moral solidarity with all things Lithuanian, the "granting" of Lithuanian citizenship to him, in 1992, becomes a formalization of that which existed from the time of his birth in Kaunas, in 1926.
		Adamkus, at home in both the East and the West, is attitudinally as well as linguistically suited as a prime mover to engage the Maceina-Šalkauskis envisioned mission for Lithuania as a mediator nation between East and West.
