Update

The Steven Lee Myers article that partially inspired my "Who Lost Russia?" ramblings is available - with a great photo - at the IHT website, and also at the NYT Magazine website. This week's NYT mag also has a piece on the continuing importance of nuclear non-proliferation work. It's strange how non-proliferation issues are always acknowledged to be an underreported and yet crucial, but they seem somehow to remain rarely discussed in the media.
