Fund-raising hell in Russia

VIKTOR Frantsuzov might as well have been in Al Capone's Chicago: Arriving home after midnight in his chauffeured car, the professor and university administrator was cut down by a hail of bullets.  

The ambush-execution early this year, which the wounded driver survived, remains unsolved. But few doubt that it was tied to the respected scholar's work as head of money-making activities at the Moscow State Academy of Fine Chemical Technologies. Somehow, it is believed, he must have angered gangsters in the corrupt world of Russian business.
