Opposite her, the defective defector of James Carmichael '01, an ex-Russian physicist and father of Hapgood's son, provided a touchingly human portrait of man torn between the family he loves and the country he serves - whichever one it may be. Attention must also be paid to the wonderfully villainous Ridley of Tom Price '02. He possessed enough venomous charm to make a Bond villain proud...
...from a condemned Spaniard-with-a-song-in-his-heart into a gambling New Orleans philanderer; Ari Appel '03, the guitarist in La Mancha's orchestra, took a turn across the boards as Stanley in Streetcar. Dan Cozzens '03, in a rather peculiar instance of ethnic globalization, went from Russian to Mexican in a matter of weeks...
...working for the CIA and warned that he would be beheaded unless the U.S. releases World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef.

It blames the administration for souring U.S.-Russian relations by pursuing NATO expansion and National Missile Defense, both of which Republicans support even more fervently than Democrats. It repeatedly mentions Russia's objections to unilateral U.S. action but then criticizes the administration for pursuing consensus-building with Moscow and others. Those contradictions, combined with breathless, vituperative language, obscure valid points, like the administration's studious disregard for Russian atrocities in Chechnya and its failure to achieve any new arms control agreements with the Russians...
