During the cold war Western pop culture forever depicted Soviet officials as
preposterous figures in medal-bedecked business suits.  Funny how all the
ostentatious patriotic hardware is now appearing on American chests.  Saw
Bush and Powell meeting with Putin on TV the other night and was amused to
see that both Bush and Powell were wearing flag pins on their lapels but
Putin was not.
