Byron,
I agree almost 100% with what you say and your professor's recommendations.

When I first went into the intelligence section of Special Forces at Fort Bragg as a new 2d Lieutenant in 1967, I was assigned to supervise two groups -- in between various training courses to which the Army sent me to learn how to survive war and kill more effficiently. One group was extracting information from Russian ( a linguistic talent in which I was trained) military radio intercepts and was a small part of a very large picture, the other perused magazines and newspapers both domestic and foriegn and attempted to gain insights about anything in several countries (there were several groups assigned different countries) and predict how both those citizens and US citizens would react to those things. We would develope propaganda contingencies from this information. Anyhow, we maintained files of information concerning who the writers and editors were and what their political biases might be. This is where I developed a great cynicism towards the press.

Rage, Rage against the lying of the right.

Great adaptation, Lightning... are you responsible for it [as well you could be], or are you quoting a personal friend

?

No, I'm not responsible for that. I saw it in a small local magazine called L , the Decadence Issue, and thought it deserved a wider audience.

Yes, it did. Turn on the radio or tv for its evidence.
