Aha. I wondered what it was. Larry, you really shouldn't let one persons
writings do this to you. I wouldn't ever believe everything I read in a book
about a highly-charged subject like the USSR. People have been known to lie
and exaggerate about subjects that they feel strongly about. I get my views
on the USSR from an average of a *lot* of books and articles, and I still
wouldn't claim to know whats really going on over there. I certainly wouldn't
let one book put me in a position where nothing short of "fundamental changes"
could change my views. Why not read another book? Or two?
