Well, Christmas in Russia comes two weeks later (January 7 new style, as in other predominantly Eastern Orthodox Christian countries), so Bill has an extra 14 days to get out of this predicament in time for Christmas!In an old book by MAD Magazine, called The MAD Book of Worries, the editors pointed out that “the Russian calendar is two weeks behind ours. That means that if they decide to do anything nasty to us, we won’t be able to stop them, since it will have happened two weeks ago!”
I always found it interesting when some of the Restricted, Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret information I knew and was sworn not to disclose was published on the front page of the local newspaper. And I still wasn’t supposed to disclose it.
