NYT -- On Nov. 2, the Kremlin startled Western scholars by announcing that President Vladimir V. Putin had posthumously given the highest Russian award to a Soviet agent who penetrated the Manhattan Project to build the atom bomb.

У Путина есть middle initial.

The announcement hailed Dr. Koval as “the only Soviet intelligence officer” to infiltrate the project’s secret plants, saying his work “helped speed up considerably the time it took for the Soviet Union to develop an atomic bomb of its own.”

Единственный?! Да их тут тысячи!!!

CHICAGO TRIBUNE -- Chicago Board of Education is expected to approve plans for the first high school of its kind in the district -- which would target dropouts and 11th graders on the verge of dropping out and provide vocational training in a specific career field, in this case the culinary arts.

Это у нас в школе говорили, если кто плохо раскладывал многочлены на множители -- во, тебе не к нам надо было, а в кулинарный техникум.

Готовить, что интересно, тоже никто не умел -- что в Ленинграде, что в Чикаго. Не знаю, где тут причина, а где следствие.
