WHO IS BORIS KORSKY-RIMSAKOV?

None other than the world's greatest, and sexiest, opera star, who lives and loves in Paris. Pursued by twenty-five million Frenchwomen, he's also coveted by the wife of Russia's Chairman. The Chairman has staked his prestige on the getting Boris to sing at the Bolshoi—but the great lover ungracefully refuses.

There's an international incident in the offing; not even the President of the United States can persuade Boris to go to Moscow. But maybe Hawkeye and Trapper John can—with an assist from the world's ugliest movie star, the world's messiest anchorman, and the world's shortest and randiest Arab sheikh.

The results are revolutionary, even for Russia, and the Red Army clahes with the ridiculous, and Moscow meets . . . MASH

Ji FU reviewed MASH goes to Moscow by William E. Butterworth III (Mash, #14)

A parody of Jimmy Carter gives Butterworth's Hawkeye & Trapper John a Final Hurrah.

3 stars

Above all I'm glad to have completed Butterworth's noncanonical "Mash goes to ..." series. This one was better than the last few. It started out very good with the supreme chairman of the USSR trying to appease his wife while trying to please his mistress. I thought we might actually get a new story. But alas within a few chapters Butterworth reverted to his standard formula of finding a way to get a bunch of people from all over the world to convene on the title location in the last chapter. All-in-all nothing to write home about but nothing to get upset about either. I actually did have a few laugh-out-loud moments & even though I'm a Jimmy Carter fan I found his very Republican take on Jim-Boy entertaining.
