...based Institute of Globalization Studies, urges caution. "The indexes are propelled by growing oil prices," he says, arguing that most of the Russian economy is under the influence of Moscow's political élite.

Delyagin says Saudi Arabia's knocking up of oil prices and China's oil consumption could push up Russian indexes further, but it would be wishful thinking to expect them to keep rising for long.

Scripts on the CBS Evening News also run to a rich, ripe, compacted prose. When the space shuttle Challenger exploded, some journalists wondered whether NASA had been under too much pressure from the White House to launch the craft. David Ignatius of the Washington Post decided to look instead at whether the press caused some of the pressure. He picked as his most egregious example this lead-in by Rather, broadcast the night before the blowup: "Yet another costly, red-faces-all-around space shuttle-launch delay. This time a bad bolt on a hatch and a bad-weather bolt...
