Article in Today's Washington Post on the Teaching of Critical La nguages in the US

[VANCHU, ANTHONY J. (JSC-AH) (TTI)]

Ultimately nothing here that most of us haven't already heard, but worth
noting, given the source (and perhaps useable as ammunition against a school
administration about to cut a Russian program).  Although the article
focuses more on Arabic and Chinese, Russian is mentioned and included in the
list of critical languages.

Article title:  "Strides in 'Critical Languages' Remain Small"
