...detention of the campaign workers the night before, but others did. Reformers said the government had been split for months between a group that believed Yeltsin could win re-election and a faction led by Korzhakov that wanted to cancel the vote. Planting currency is an old KGB trick, and the hard-liners might have set up the campaign workers to embarrass the reformers; or the two men might really have been carrying foreign notes without proper documents, and the hard-liners simply seized on this infraction.

...movie is that it lacks any sort of real resolution whatsoever. It appears that after a final heart-to-heart with Broderick, Carey will mend his ways.

Just reading their words into the record might not have done the trick, and screams of pain could have been counterproductive. But the sight and sound of two Americans requesting autonomy proved just the thing, and Dr. Death walked once again. As Fieger put it two weekends ago in the court of Andy Rooney (where maybe all future trials should be held), "Government...
However, the April 10, 1996 Opinion was simply too much to bear. Three different articles demonstrated equal amounts of inanity--a hat trick the Crimson should no doubt be proud...
