What is the ethnic origin of his surname? Badagnani (talk) 23:11, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I can conjecture that it's Greek, based on page 23 of Word Freak: "Backgammon, though, I could play. Summers on the Greek island of Chios, where my father was born, passed with endless session of the game in three variant forms -- standard backgammon, plakoto (Greek backgammon) and moultezimi (Turkish backgammon). I recall sitting in the coffee shop in the central square of the ancestral village eating sweets and beating local men sixty years my senior." Andy Saunders (talk) 23:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I learned today by way of an on-air admission, that regular guest on NPR's All Things Considered, Stefan Fatsis is the husband of Melissa Block, a host of All Things Considered, who interviewed him today. Is he paid by NPR for his appearances? Is his position related to his family connection?
