Lenin Traieste!

Some things you just can't make up in these Moldovan textbooks:

English for You and Me, Form 7. Writing Exercise 2, p. 43
Write the words in the right order to make up sentences:
a) We, strong, to, our, need, goods, country, to, make, produce, industrial, more.

For those of you who are impatient or were never good at sentence re-arrangement, it comes out to "We need to produce more industrial goods to make our country strong."

It's the little things that make you smile in Peace Corps.

Well... The sentence pretty much captures the essence of industrial policy in Japan, Korea, the other Asian Tigers and, most recently, China. I don't see no Lenin here.
