...deftly creating a Leninist's Somerville apartment living room scene so accurate you can almost smell the ramen, set designer Marc Jimenez has come up with a realism equal to much of the characterization and dialogue that Schnairsohn provides for the characters who inhabit the space. Perry is the perfect name for a revolutionary, and Ian is the perfect name for a great lover. Kudos to Sarah Lohrius '98 for providing the smallest of props to add effect to this scene, especially the treasure troll on the mantelpiece, the broken eight-track machine and the portrait of Jimi Hendrix...

They have forgotten their mission as dictated by the Constitution: to serve the president and only to offer opinions on relevant issues if the president requests them...
...calculus of world politics, the Soviet Union had only one credible claim to superpower status -- its immense military strength. The country's domestic economy was always a shambles, and its Marxist-Leninist ideology has long been threadbare. But for decades Moscow relentlessly built up its armed forces to defend communism at home and advance its cause abroad. The military had first call on the nation's resources, and civilians got what was left...
