GRAPEVINE, Page 9THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR MISSILES
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
Nice try, Boris. Ukrainian officials were ready to give
their 4,000 or so nuclear warheads to Russia -- until somebody
remembered that the missiles contain enriched uranium and
plutonium with a total value of about $1 billion. The Ukrainians
now are very excited about the prospect of mining currency or
other compensation from the missiles. Given the military value
of the stuff, the bidding may be brisk.
