I have no interest in misrepresenting DB. How the fuck am I supposed 
to remember the "date, source, and context" (other than the fact that 
it was a phoner with KPFA) of an interview that happened something 
like eight years ago? What I do remember is being appalled at DB's 
conception of power - that one individual, in this case D'Amato, 
could exercise so much control over so many things. It's very similar 
to your conception of power, JW, and I can understand why you're 
bosom buddies.
