Wellesley ' Former Ambassador Rouben Shougarian, a Wellesley resident,
will be presenting his new book, `West of Eden, East of the
Chessboard: Four Philosophical Looks Upon the Unknown' (Gomidas
Institute; $22) at the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA)
in Watertown on March 3 at 7:30 p.m.
Shougarian was the first Armenian Ambassador to the United States
(1993-1999), Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia
(1999-2005) and Ambassador to Italy, Spain and Portugal (2005-2008).

former U.S. Defense Secretary is a poet, too), James Joyce's `Ulysses'
and the Book of Genesis.
