Russian as she is writ (continued)

[William Ryan]

John, I think the answer is that drop-outs go into the more expensive 
end of the deli business and probably earn more than university 
teachers. See the label on 
http://www.hvanwijnensalmonsmokers.com/company/brands/  It reads "Newa 
gerookte Zalm  kaptsjonnaja lasosj NEWA products, tantalizing smoked 
salmon with a twist." You will notice that the Russian words all have 
the stress marked and are spelled with akanie. Edible Neva salmon can't 
be very common - you should have bought some.

Instead the thought that occurs to me is this: we follow with great attention the careers of our more distinguished graduates, but perhaps we ought also to look a little more closely at what happens in later life to those of our students who do not graduate.
