> What To Expect From Moscow Under Gorbachev: ... First moves will be to revitalize Soviet economy, end the arms race, and get Mrs. G a charge account at Neiman Marcus.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Little joke there - but a very important issue as the USSR was a major factor in almost making whales extinct, and for very little economic gain to themselves.

Burkina Faso: important once, I cannot remember why, and I've not heard that name since the cold war ended.
