I'm violating my own strictures against talking about L***** P******, but when the SWP ordered him to get a job in a steel mill in the 1970s, Proyect quit at his first lunch break and went back to being a computer programmer. I can't say I blame him, though; I'd hate working in a steel mill.

He did disclose the other day that he likes fine wine and has a $3,000 stereo. In that he's like many of us, though I've only got a crappy old stereo and a 2-month-old iPod. I wonder if the instructions to the maid written in Spanish are still taped to the door.
