[Spridgets] economics of toys

[Kathryn Bales]

Alaska has carried on a trade agreement with Russia for many years.  
Russian fishing vessels come into all Alaskan ports for supplies and to 
trade.  American Coast Guard vessels and helicopters pick up sick and 
injured Russian seamen and bring them to Alaskan hospitals for 
treatment.  The Governor must  confer with Russian officials to arrange 
their transfer to Russian hospitals or back to their vessels when their 
condition stabilizes.  Russian airliners land in Anchorage.  An 
interesting fact about Aeroflot - all platforms are equipped with a tail 
gunner position.  All that is necessary to ready them for war is to 
remove the passengers.
