In addition, American negotiators are often perceived as overbearing, and their discussions tend to be “transactional in character rather than relationship-build- ing.” Solomon also spoke about the role of hospitality as “amuchbigger part of nego- tiation in other countries than ours.” He got a laugh with the line, “The Chinese want to get you drunk; the Russians want to drink with you.” Solomon ended his talkwith a call for more training innegotiation for diplomats, with a particular focus on sensitivity to other cultures. A question-and-answer period followed. WETA-TV recorded these and other AFSA events and has posted them on its Web site, at www.weta.org/video/forum.

Her last assign- ment was at the Bureau of Diplomatic Security field office in Miami. Stella’s chil- dren — David, Karla, Robert and Shari — all received AFSA Financial Aid Scholarships in the 1990s. Now they have established a scholarship in their mother’s name. The Stella Panagoulias Stutz Scholarship is a tribute to her and a grateful nod to having seen the world thanks to their mother’s FS career. The first recipient of the scholarship is John Guice, son of FSO Stephen Guice. Stutz currently spends her time with new husband Joe Robinson, and travels around the country to visit friends and family, divid- ing her time between homes in West Virginia and Wyoming.
