i respect his work, but that "news" is about as reliable as a previously 
mentioned quote re the sla siting the authoritative world entity "gray 
haired Berkeley radicals" or some such...

what the hell does it mean? he spoke to a schmuck? he spoke to two 
jerks? two spies and one jerk? how much faith can be placed in any 
foreigner's report, however progressive, hard working and well meaning 
that foreigner might be, as an indication of what "they" are about?

this is the kind of anecdotal evidence that would lose a college student

maybe not a high school student, but that depends on where the teacher 
was educated, and what sort of day was being experienced...
