...five years since the tricolor flag of Russia replaced the hammer and sickle flying over the Kremlin, Moscow has made a number of difficult, courageous and correct choices, both from its own standpoint and from ours.

...surprised by the Coop's recent failings. But I am shocked that the organization still exists. Students will continue to lose the value of their Coop "membership" in terms of opportunity cost as long as the Kremlin on the Square is controlled by an inept politburo headed by comrade Murphy. Privatization would cure such economic ills and would serve students well...
