Bwog “Newspaper-Reads-You” Expert Valerie Sapozhnikova joined a tiny audience at the Harriman Institute to learn about media in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.

This place sucks, I wanna go back to 4th grade. Go off campus to smoke? Nah, I’d rather take those free nicotine patches and secretly smoke out of my window at 3am.
