...question is what sort of an impact the banking sector's problems and the cascading margin calls on stock-market investors will have on the Russian economy as a whole.

But Russia experts say that, for the moment at least, they don't expect the troubles to blow up into a huge national economic crisis like the one of a decade ago, when the ruble collapsed and the economy contracted sharply.

...Russia has always been a risky place to do business, but that hasn't prevented a huge flow of international investments into the economy this decade.

...Fight Club” must take note: “Choke” lacks the cinematic intensity, bombastic performances, and thematic density of that film. With its half-baked plotlines and tepid, almost inconsequential digressions into subplots, “Choke” raises the question of whether the novel even merited movie treatment. The film’s unusual twist does little more than further muddle the message of what was already a quiet flop.Victor’s search for familial identity and his choking scheme clearly complement his sex addiction and the Freudian construct of the return...
