"We Shall Bury You!"

Nikita Khrushchev was right! It took a little while, but who would have imagined the last week of Wimbledon with no Americans, no Brits? Russians to the right, left, center court. Sweet young things knocking back endorsements of $25 million a year, they report.

Tennis happens to be the only sport that I really watch and it is fortunate that the Cold War got me to learn a little Russian back then. Pretty soon all the commentaries will most likely be in that language -- with perhaps an occasional English subtitle. Kak vi pazivaichi? Harasho, Ochin haracho! Better get a new computer, too, that can handle the language. Sorry Bill Gates. You did your best ;-(.
