U.S.-Russia Relations Make Lead Story on Times Website

Get ready, Russian departments of America, for a sudden influx of students. If the trends regarding U.S.-Russia relations continue, our government will begin to want more and more students who know the language. Just this morning, the New York Times decided that a rebuke of the Kremlin and its policies by a deputy state department official deserved top billing on its website.

According the implicit rules set up by the Kremlin, these kinds of comments are fair game--there has already been some back-and-forth between the governments, and it seems likely that it will only escalate from here. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this won't lead to another Cuban Missile Crisis.
