[lbo-talk] "four walls are three too many"

[Mark Bennett]

It seems that few of the famous apothegms attributed to Stalin have been
sourced with any certainty, including "the death of one man is a
tragedy; the death a million men is a statistic" and "the Pope?  How
many divisions does he have?"  Too bad: I hate using slogans I can't
cite with confidence, and I really want to use this one in a bit I'm
writing.  Damn.

I think I started circulating it. I got it from D.D. "Don" 
Guttenplan, now half of The Nation's London bureau, when he was working
at the Village Voice about 15 years ago. Maybe one our Russian
correspondents could factcheck it.
