The New York Times has an article regarding the dispute between Harvard University and a Russian company. Although the information in the article is not particularly important, it brings together a cast of characters that reminds us of the weirdness of modern capitalism: Andre Sheliffer, Earl Browder's son, Russian oligarchs, and Harvard University. It neglected to include Sowell and the Chechins.
