Privatizing the housing sector: the case of Kazakhstan from 1985-1995
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the housing situation in Kazakhstan during the Soviet regime, the economic and social processes in relation to the construction of housing in the first years since the country's independence in 1991, the processes by which housing became privatized, and the nature of housing in the developing market transition conditions. Using data between 1985 and 1995, the immediate effects of de-Sovietization in Kazakhstan are investigated.

Article Abstract:
The criticisms hurled at columnist Marilyn vos Savant for her supposedly incorrect answer to a well-known mathematical puzzler were quite misplaced. A sober review of the nuances of the mathematical problem shows that Savant was correct and the criticisms against her quite unjustified.

Savage Puritans ripped her bodice
Article Abstract:
Book publishers used provocative illustrations and synopses of plots on the covers of classic books published in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The practice was profitable for publishers, as the public bought the books with the lurid illustrations, but was also short-lived.
