Robert talks with Leon Aron (AH-rohn), a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, about his assessment of Russian President Boris Yeltsin. Aron says that negatives about Yeltsin are exaggerated and that Russians associate two very positive things with Yeltsin; that lines for goods have disappeared, and that the ruble is now a valued, exchangeable currency.
