...examination of the country's bloody past should not stop with Stalin but should go on to -- whisper it -- Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Lenin himself, and to some of his principles, such as the centralization of all power in the Communist Party. Gorbachev often represents his policies as a return to the pure tenets of Lenin that Stalin perverted. But a few voices are suggesting, at least by implication, that the history debate is ultimately about the legitimacy of the Soviet state, a state with no validation other than the sacred rightness of the Communist Party and its doctrine of historical...
...defense tactic, Milken's lawyers will probably attack Boesky's credibility because he received a reduced charge in return for his testimony. They could also challenge the constitutionality of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, the statute under which Milken has been charged. Some legal experts believe the law, originally designed to combat organized crime, gives prosecutors unfair leverage in white-collar-crime cases...
...Sitnikov scorned "socialist realism" in his art. His most serious paintings alternated between a touching optimism and a profound morbidity.

In the following pages, Sinyavsky reflects on those remarkable five days in Moscow, on Gorbachev, on the Soviet character and on whether his beloved country has indeed changed for good...
...Well, even so," the correspondent persists, "aren't you thinking of returning to the Soviet Union?" The very posing of the question seems incorrect to me. As long as we are asked such questions, it's clear that we can't talk about any serious perestroika. Why, for example, when the English writer Graham Greene moved to France, didn't anyone ask him whether or not he was planning to return to England? Who cares where Graham Greene lives -- in England or in France? And Hemingway, he lived quite peacefully in Cuba (can you imagine! on an island!) and didn...
