Chris Vaccaro is gazing at us from in front of lots of books, papers, and filing cabinet drawers with a hint of wry amusement. He's a man of European descent with a dignified bald head and full dark beard. He's dressed in a button down shirt with light stripes and we suspect he is in his academic office in Burlington, Vermont.
