more on the veritas/Russian connection

[Marta Pirnat-Greenberg]

This is not in any way connected to the original
question, but I thought some people on the list would appreciate
the humor:

The SLovene weekly _Mladina_ used to poke fun at news
from various corners by adding a pun in the form of a
news agency's name before an editorial.  When the item
referred to the former Soviet Union, the article would be
preceded by (VERY TASS).
