An invitation to Locke

Dear Locke,
In your response to my piece on Yeltsin, you ask me to try to look at the Yeltsin era through "Russian eyes" and understand that the failures "were not so muchy of Reaganomics as of the rosy-glasses liberalism." Nu, if you have the time and inclination, send me a shortish essay to my e-mail walterruby@gmail.com explicating that viewpoint a little deeper. I'll put it on rubyjewsday as a guest essay and then respond. I think it would be an instructive exchange.
Best, Walter
