I have the impression that Yeltsin may be George Steinbrenner's evil twin -- or is it the other way around. Both have similar management styles although Steinbrenner is having a better year. If I were one of the oligarchs of Russia, I would try to install a "communist government," which would find out, if they do not know already, that their moderate social democracy or whatever they espouse today just will not work. They will end up doing the dirty work, enforcing more austerity and discrediting the left. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
