CNBC in Russia

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

CNBC is broadcasting a special:  CNBC in Russia.  The program was broadcast
tonight (Thurs.) at 10 pm eastern and will be rebroadcast at 1 am eastern
(Friday morning).  I have seen bits of the program and it looks like a
reasonably good discussion of the Russian economy and the larger social and
political context of Russian capitalism.  If you have a chance to tape it,
it might be an interesting tool for recruiting students in the next
"enrollment season."

I'm going to try to find out if the program can be purchased on DVD and will
let you know if that is indeed the case.

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin
