I must have read hundreds of mostly sci-fi and horror short stories. "Billennium" is probably not my favorite, but it's the one that haunted me the most.
It's interesting that the B1 language requirement is discussed here mostly in terms of fairness. Is it reasonable or not, to require an immigrant to speak the language of the country they're immigrating to?
