[lbo-talk] Re: How easy is it to get polonium 210?

A trip through memory lane.

10 years ago Berezovsky was the "Godfather of the
Kremlin." Now the British public is treating him as a
fair and unbiased source of information.

For your reading pleasure, here is the piece by the
(now murdered) Paul Klebnikov:

Godfather of the Kremlin? 
12.30.96 

Power. Politics. Murder. Boris Berezovsky could teach
the guys in Sicily a thing or two.
LAST NOVEMBER Ronald Lauder, billionaire heir to the
Estée Lauder cosmetics fortune, traveled to Moscow to
celebrate the opening of a posh boutique on Red
Square. That evening Russian and American business
leaders, U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and
President Boris Yeltsin's wife attended a party in
Lauder's honor. 

The host of the lavish affair? A wealthy Russian car
dealer named Boris Berezovsky. 

Ronald Lauder probably did not know that his host is a
powerful gangland boss and the prime suspect in
Russia's most famous murder investigation. Explains
Lauder: "The invitations went out in President
Yeltsin's name."
