i particularly liked the latest one it turned up, one i hadn't look far 
enough to see because it dug back past december and i was interested at the 
time:

                    Political Economy of Stalled Reforms

                    Oleh Havrylyshyn and John Odling-Smee

                    Powerful vested interests in some of the transition 
countries oppose

                    further reform. But, even in this difficult climate, 
reform can and should

                    continue.

about as enthused as i am about trying to figure out why "information 
security" as a search phrase keeps turning up tons of articles from F&D!!!!
