...Since President Vladimir Putin came to power, the Russian economy has staged a dramatic comeback after its near collapse in 1998. But along with red tape and corruption, companies face political and government meddling, primarily in the form of a highly unpredictable tax-enforcement policy. The most battered victim to date is Yukos, the former Russian oil giant that is currently in its death throes after being hit with multibillion-dollar back-tax claims that its erstwhile owners say were part of a Kremlin campaign against them. A Moscow court is expected to deliver its verdict this week on Mikhail...
...days the two will meet to tape more appeals for help for the tsunami's victims. In the fall they will perform at Texas A & M and in all probability later in Little Rock.

Says Author Lewis Griggs: "No matter what you do overseas, whether it's CIA, Exxon or a missionary, you can do it better if you understand the local culture...
...Viet Nam. Poor Raymond is a neurotic mess; glamorous Kolya has the nimble tread of melancholic star quality. Raymond agonizes about his family back home; Kolya never visits or mentions the family he must have left stranded. Raymond hates U.S. politics, but the disco beat pulsing from Kolya's tape deck calls him home. Good idea, Ray, since the cagey beast from the KGB (Jerzy Skolimowski) hates blacks...
