Epigone, thanks for the information about CSKA and Lex Carrington. I have edited my Vera biography to replace "Spartak club like Anastasia Myskina and Elena Dementieva" with "<A HREF="
http://www.cska.ru/index.php?part=120">CSKA club</A>", and to add the following paragraph to my 2004 review:
<P>It was around this time that Vera appointed Lex Carrington as a full-time coach. Lex had been Vera's hitting partner while she was living in Maryland with her old coach Julia Kashevarova, who is believed to be still coaching Vera in a reduced capacity.</P>
