Death In a Baggie -  For Oleg Khintsagov, today is the day. The 49-year-old Russian has been siphoning off a meager living as a mechanic and small-time smuggler of dried fish, sausages, furs—anything he can furtively sell for a small profit. But on Jan. 31, 2006, he’ll make more money than decades of booming sausage-selling could ever yield. His only goods fit inside one shabby coat pocket: a dull gray substance sealed in a plastic sandwich bag.
