I'd also be interested in a little documentation on these "underground tunnels through downtown Moscow" When, from where to where, and why?

    What an interesting job! It might actually be fun to look at Moscow's
    historical porn industry---heaven knows we have other oddities in our
    history (Frank Robinson ring a bell? How's about those underground tunnels
    through downtown? What about the underground newspapers in the sixties? The
    subversive meetings of the MOLES? religious schisms and flame wars?).
    Perhaps it is a book. "The Weird History and Current Conditions of  a Small
    Idaho Town". We certainly have enough local chatracters and color to do it.
    And, by the way, Joan Opyr's new book, From Hell to Breakfast, is now out!!!
    Yahoo--the adventure continues!
