I am the quintessential office supply/organizational junkie. I spend the kind of time in STAPLES that ordinary women spend in Bloomingdales, which I am sure shows both in my impeccable filing system, as well as my less-than-pristine personal appearance.

National Cuisine
Why living off the land can be a bit of an acquired taste
In 1615, Dutch envoy Anthonis Goeteeris, on finding himself in Moscow, wrote: “The Russians have a very strange cuisine.” Although Russian food is generally thought to be monotonous, it is actually rich in original recipes.

When spies become intelligence officers
How do you say "spy" in Russian? What about "espionage?" And how do you distinguish "spying" from "gathering intelligence?"
