- What is an out-of-work former superpower leader to do?
- MIKHAIL GORBACHEV is taking a cue from Richard Nixon and picking
- up a pen. A very special pen. Gorbachev has signed on as a
- journalist with the prestigious Italian daily La Stampa, which
- plans to publish 10 of his global ruminations a year. His first
- piece, a defense of socialism, was picked up by the New York
- Times this week. Gorbachev added a historical flourish as he
- signed his new employment contract in Moscow. Pausing
- dramatically, he noted that he had once used the same pen to
- sign "an important agreement on disarmament."
