Laurie Anderson has a bit (on United States 1-4, I think) about how the map we Americans grew up with has a big ol' USA in the middle and Russia/USSR divided in two.<P>NPR had a show on this topic recently. I heard part of this. A Real Audio brocast of the show is <A HREF="http://www.wamu.org/ram/2001/p2010604.ram" TARGET=_blank>here</A>, from the <A HREF="http://www.wamu.org/pi" TARGET=_blank>Public Interest</A> page.<P>Maybe people who are interested in maps, like me, would care to listen.<P>------------------
