...first-graders in the woman's classroom were cute, as first-graders tend to be. Their jackets were tiny, their smiles were huge and they still carried plastic lunch boxes.

They read stories about fireflies and wrote their own stories about their families and friends and about what they did last weekend...
...Thursday at five o'clock Harvard Square bustles with Cantabridgian commuters eager to put an end to their work days. But for twenty-five year-old Tony Throne the work is only beginning.

Today the yellow arches of McDonald's shed their plastic gleam on Red Square, and gangsterism rules instead of socialist virtue. You know the Nazis inflicted incalculable damage on your nation, with the intent to obliterate all traces of "Slavic culture" from the earth. Why, in this time of collapsed dreams and national humiliation, should you listen to Germans preaching about...
