======== Here appeared numerous quotes from around the world, 
======== then the following:

> USSR: Izvestia, Moscow:
> 	"The American masses continue to grieve for those who perished.
> 	But the businessmen associated with the shuttle program are
> 	pondering how to avoid losing their planned profits."
> 
> USSR: Pravda, Moscow:
> 	"In each of us that flaming column, carrying away the lives of
> 	seven valient persons, left a deep pain in the soul."

While the first quote was a typical (but certainly true) anti-Capitalist
