It appeared in an anthology of first-published short stories that won some kind of recognition at least 7 years ago. I don't remember the name or editor of the anthology or the name of the author. General plot involves successive meetings of a famous political figure and his biographer from 500 years in the future. If anyone recognizes this short-story and can supply the name of the anthology (and hopefully the year) or the author, please post it in the net.
