The Earthbound Parent: How (and Why) to Raise Your Little Angels Without Religion (video)______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Richard Conn: How (and Why) to Raise Your Little Angels Without ReligionIn Deep with Angie Coiro: Interviews______________________________________________________________________________________________________ An Angie Coiro Podcast:Bringing Up Atheists with Richard Conn Jr.Richard Conn Jr., author of “The Earthbound Parent”, joined Angie Coiro to talk about raising children to be atheists in a religion filled world. Coiro: Now, I know that your experience goes beyond just your own family. What do you hear from other parents who are trying to raise their children as non-theists? Conn Jr.: strong sense of ethics and critical thinking. They do as we do, which is not passing along any hostility of any sort towards people who wish to have a belief system based on the supernatural. I don’t see from other parents any problem with that. But again, these are people who are living in regions where there is not direct animosity towards people who are not part of these religious organizations. If you were to go to certain parts of the United States or other countries, particularly in the Middle East, people need to be more cautious and thoughtful about stepping out in a direction different than societal norms.

Creating the Post-Sovient Russian Market Economy: Through American Eyes By Daniel Satinsky
International Lawyers – Facilitating Global Integration and Advising Emerging Russia "International law firms and individual attorneys played an important role as facilitators for multinationals entering the Russian market and as advisors to Russian reformers. Many prestigious international law firms were early entrants in Russia, including Coudert Brothers, White and Case, Baker & Mackenzie, Cleary Gottlieb, Steptoe and Johnson, Latham and Watkins, LeBoeuf Lamb, Salans, Squire Sanders and several others. Some of these firms have changed their names subsequently, so the name of the firm at that time will be used for reference here. Unfortunately, it was impossible to include all the rich experience of the 1990s that were in the attorney interviews. As a result, this section will focus on four pioneering attorneys and their experience in the Gorbachev and Yeltsin periods and their varying motivations for working in Russia. Some came for business opportunity, and some came for the opportunity to participate in constructing a new Russia, or some mixture of the two. The range of different and simultaneous motivations reflects the broader diversity among the expat business community of the time." Latham Watkins "Richard Conn was responsible for opening the Latham Watkins office in Moscow in the very early 1990s, a bit later than the other attorneys who appear in this chapter. Like the others, he had a personal interest in Russia through his study of Russian language, literature and chess and had been closely following developments in the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union collapsed and the Yeltsin group came to power, he lobbied Latham Watkins to set up an office in Moscow. “I went to the head of the firm and said that this guy Boris Yeltsin is just coming into power. You may not know this, but I speak Russian fluently. … I basically said, ‘I think I can probably make some good things happen. We’ll have some clients here, maybe in the US, who need support over there. Russia is trying to transition to a free market democratic structure. I’m sure that there will be some opportunities, perhaps to be helpful in that and basically, I’m crazy enough to do it.’ He was very supportive and let me do it. I guess the way I thought of it that there are many other sorts of self-selected types, who had an idealistic view of what they could accomplish in Russia. … No, I can’t say that in the forefront of my mind was that our clients are dying to get our services in Moscow and St Petersburg. That was an adjunct to it, and of course I took great care to spend a huge amount of my time building a client base. But in terms of my own personal interest that drove me to go there, it really did not have anything to do with the idea that it’s a good business decision for me personally or that our clients desperately needed us in Russia. But the two things tended to go hand in hand, you know building good relationships in a country generally allows you to function more smoothly. … And I just thought, I wouldn’t say an obligation, but I felt that it was the right thing to do to try to be helpful to a Russian Government that at least as I perceived it, was trying to move in a direction that I felt I wanted to support.” This fundamental idealism was embodied in how Richard described his career while he was resident in Moscow from 1992 to 1995 and his subsequent involvement with Russia." |

U.S. Business and the Russian Mob By MICHAEL SPECTER, "If there was ever a sense that we were to be left alone, it is clearly gone now," said Richard A. Conn Jr., a lawyer with Latham & Watkins, a firm here that represents several major international corporations doing business in Russia. "I still consider it safe for Westerners to work here, and I encourage them to do so all the time. But the growth of the mob has been dramatic, and there just isn't a pass for American businesses from the mafia anymore." Mr. Conn and most other foreign executives interviewed say that official corruption, an irrational system of levying and collecting taxes, and a lasting mistrust of profit still hurt American businesses here far more than crime does. And the executives note that no representative of any American company is known to have been killed by the mob, although such killings occur almost weekly among Russian businessmen, especially bankers. |

Regions Wrest Powers from Kremlin By FRED HIATT For foreign investors, nothing is clear: whose laws to obey, which taxes to pay, whose claims of ownership to believe. "You don't really know on any given day to what degree the laws of Russia are going to be honored," said Richard Conn, an American lawyer in Moscow who advises American firms and the Russian government. "It creates interesting legal issues." But Conn and many others see the regional power grab as a generally healthy response to decades and even centuries of heavy-handed bureaucratic control from Moscow. "Our early history was a process of the states surrendering power to the central government," Conn said. "Here, because of this nation's strange history, regions are wresting power away from the center, as individuals wrest power from government." |

That night I wound up -- I don't know how, probably something to do with getting that drink -- in the motley company of a friend, California congressman Chris Cox; Cox's friend Richard Conn, who's an American attorney now weed-whacking Russian legal thickets; and a friend of Conn's, Russian chess champion Gary Kasparov. Kasparov, who at his own expense had been stumping for Boris Yeltsin, took us to the campaign headquarters. This was a big, sorry slab of a modern hotel, a place where visiting Commie dignitaries used to be parked. There weren't any flags, signs, spotlights or festoons of bunting outside, just some police with machine guns. The lobby was large, dim, empty and covered in blocks of marble that didn't match up along the edges. Nowhere to be seen were crowds of bustling hangers-on, self-important minor functionaries, frantic strategists, hyperventilating pollsters, fuzz-faced volunteer kids or scurrying, ferretlike George Stephanopoulos characters. The place seemed to be made of American political anti-matter... |
