Changing it back to >something less extreme will require some fundamental changes in the USSR 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? -- "In challenging a kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap." Michael Hamel ..!{unisoft|mtxinu}!taniwha!michael
