A guard--just changed from a student to a uniformed employee--is posted in the Science Center only after 5 p.m. and must remain at the desk by the elevators.

But no doubt he also wants to use the meeting to remind the world that his own foreign policy is up and running, while the U.S. is only just recovering from a distracting and unedifying presidential race...
