Joey, re Russia, have you seen the Sept 7 Forbes? Came in the mail Monday I think, went to press long before this week's news. Very good article titled "The Last Days of Boris Yeltsin". Thought I was the guy on that show "Early Edition". Describes exactly the scenario said to be unfolding there this week with the "Kleptocrats" who stole most of the state monopolies under the guise of "privatization" making a deal with the Communists, Lebed, Chernomyrdin et al so that they could escape with their skins and some of their wealth, and the industries they stole could be re-nationalized. Except to the extent that the Kleptocrats get to keep their ill gotten gains, this seems like the best solution. Sure beats a coup d'‚tat by some ultra-nationalist Stalin wannabe. Good reading, Bob
