Haggling with Russian black
marketeers, I picked up one valuable lesson from these Winter Olympics.
When a
marketeer dies, his fellows set up a table in the booth, light a candle, display pictures, encourage friends to write in a book for the vendor's family.
The
marketeers want more teachers motivated by fear who will be compelled and threatened into doing a more profitable job of teaching.
While bemoaning their lack of power to catch the really big fish, especially zaibatsu firms, many police made their living by extorting "exemptions" from black
marketeers in return for looking the other way.
The great irony is that instead of being cast into the wilderness, free
marketeers in the shape of Cameron, Osborne, Clegg and his Orange Book Lib Dems are now in charge, and they are behaving as if they were back in Chile with the Chicago Boys in 1973, hurriedly throwing out to the private sector any state-owned booty they can get their hands on and dismantling the social wage upon which so many depend.
But let's get back to Bob Dole, who, free
marketeer that he is, would certainly bless the union of Sony and ABC (and never criticize a dishy former Nixon aide).

Marketeer can may this opportunity explode in sales.
His started his career as a commercial
marketeer followed by his move to academia.
The honours were awarded by trade magazine the
Marketeer Midlands and West Design Review.
The trouble is the
marketeers or their successors (I hate the word marketers; market is to
marketeer as engine is to engineer) are still practising the same philosophy they initiated in the 50s and honed in the swinging 60s and in so doing are flying in the face of the market reality of this century.
Other commerce-oriented possibilities fail too:
Marketeer has some punch, but it sounds too much like mouseketeer to be taken seriously.
