"We are going to turn over a new leaf, we are not going to give up"
The story goes that as a young man, Strobe Talbott was courting a California girl named Brooke Shearer -- now his wife -- who came to New Delhi in 1968 for a programme called Experiment in International Living. Talbott wrote her so regularly at the Golf Links home she stayed in that he still remembers the address.
