Michael --

1. I have made a brave effort but I cannot go to your two sources without
actually paying for it. Curiosity has its limits.
2. Earlier inquiries I made about our funeral or burial has led to the
conclusion that: Most Americans believe Khrushchev said "funeral"
(pokhoronim) while most Russians think he said "burial" (zakopaem). The
latter is obviously nastier.

Do either the London Times or the NYT take a report from someone who was
actually there, and who could understand the difference between the two?
