    Hee, hee...  This is the way my Russian text was.  What was it called...?
 Nachalo.  It had video tapes that went along with it, with Lyena (the girl
who wants to be a reporter), Sasha (the hearthrob musician), Jim (the
American grad student) and this other guy, who apparently got things for
people in Russia's "underground" market.  I really wanted to see who Lyena
would go for!  (I was rooting for Sasha), but then the series came to an end,
to be continued in the second book, and I just had to stop taking Russian!
Now I'll never know how it turns out...
