Juergen - Parr is a master of one thing - misdirection. Read the
sentence he wrote:
quote:

>Finally, I would hardly have written a largely
>favorable review of a work that was flawed by
>Marxist-Leninist analysis, which any pro-Soviet volume
>must necessarily be.


A brilliant turn on the use of a triple negative, he used a weak triple
positive to appear as a triple negative. The sentences all flow
together in a sludge heap of meaningless drivel that he gets you to
think it means what you think it means, not what he actually said.

For that, the guy deserves some kind of award...
