Ann Cooper was the NPR's bureau chief in Moscow when the Soviet Union was collapsing. Now a professor at Columbia Journalism School, she covered Mickiewicz rally in 1987 and came back to Vinius on the bloody night of January 13. We met her in New Mexico to remember both of the events and discuss the state of modern journalism.
