40457 Primakov, The Crisis -- rank: 1000
The consensus of the financial press seems to be that Russia is heading in a "Soviet" direction with its latest government. This is nonsense, right? I saw Boris Kagarlitsky at The Nation's office on Friday. He said, as usual, lots of interesting things. First, he said it's thought that Kirienko was fired because he was preparing a list of nationalizations. Still, says BK, it's likely that some nationalizations will happen - likely Gazprom, oil, vodka (which would solve the budget probl ...

40463 What Clinton Will Cost Us -- rank: 1000
michael perelman wrote: >The best he has done is to curb some of the excesses of the extremist Repubs. And at worst, he's become the "legitimate" alternative to their extremism, by disarming potential opposition to his "moderate" Republican agenda. It's like Kissinger's old "madman in the White House" negotiating ploy - agree with me, because that raver Nixon will be even worse. Doug

To me, what's new is what an imperious jerk Clinton was with Monica - like a guy whose idea of foreplay is a snap of the fingers followed by pointing groinwards. At least with Gennifer he was a generous giver. Is this what power does? Doug

James Devine wrote: >The problem is that he's such a bad president in so many other ways. If the >GOPsters didn't hate him so much, people with common sense would label >Clinton a Republican. That's one reason the Reps hate him so much. He's stolen all their issues - crime, free trade, deficit reduction, welfare "reform" - plus he's had a good time while doing it. So, pre-empted on the policy front, and jealously hostile to his perceived sex/drugs/rocknroll cultural affinities ...
