No word yet from my operative Betsy, who landed in Palau several months ago. I take this to mean one of several things:

1. Betsy is too busy enjoying tropical island life to do some idiot soda fan’s bidding.

2. The rumored wealth of Coke II in that part of the world is just a myth.

3. There’s another Betsy in Palau who has no idea who I am and junks all my e-mails.

Actually, Betsy’s eerie silence could mean ALL of those things. Creepy. Another friendly reminder just went out to my friend of a friend. We’ll see if we hear anything this week.
