At Andropov's funeral, Ronnie didn't have time to go (he was too busy running the country -- see my previous article). In his place he sent George Bush, who is unexciting. The Soviets almost certainly felt put down by not getting the Top Guy at the funeral. However, certainly a country could receive no greater honor than the presence of the Grand Poohbah and Grande Poohbess themselves! Bad feelings would be alleviated and World War III averted! -Glenn
