Have you met Misha? If you haven’t we expect that you will. He’s the toy mascot of the Moscow Olympics, a brown Russian bear, and he’s described inevitably but not inaccurately as cuddly. Over the next year he will be winning the hearts of kids from six to sixty, as he’s clutched to peace-loving breasts around the world. Even now, factories are gearing up to produce those furry little Mishas by the truckload.
We’ve spotted two of those factories. One of them is in San Francisco and is run by associates of John Tunney. The other is in Kalinin and is run by associates of Nikolai Sharegin. There is a difference between these two factories, and as a discriminating consumer you may want to make note of it.
