- <p> 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.
