Isn't this sentence strange? "Washington struck me as a precarious place from which to publish such a cerebral newspaper." I think the sentence has to be 'Washington struck me as a precarious place at which to publish such a cerebral newspaper.'?

'from' is fine - from Washington. The newspapers are sent out from Washington to other places, so 'from' is normal here. 'at' is wrong, because you wouldn't say at 'Washington'.
