SECRETS OF THE CODE, edited by Dan Burstein. (CDS Books/Squibnocket, $21.95.) Essays by a variety of experts — theologians, art historians, scientists — on themes relating to "The Da Vinci Code."
Burstein was the editor of The Call, the newspaper of the neo-Maoist CP-ML, led by Mike Klonsky, previously the October League, which got the official franchise from the PRC from Hua Gua Feng (spelling?). Burstein during the worst of the period when the Khmer Rouge was in power in, "Democratic Kampuchea, " went there and interviewed leading officials. These days, Burstein helps to broker deals between the private corp. capitalist TNC's and the State Capitalist Red Bourgeoisie of the PRC/CCP.
