That's right. He only served in Russia for four months and was replaced with Cassius Clay (or was that Mohammad Ali?)
He was an important advisor to the Russian government, helping in their struggle implementing government corruption

Maybe since Cameron didn't stay long in Russia was the real reason we got such a sweet deal on Alaska. If Cameron had been involved with the transaction it would have been a "steal" Big Grin

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
