The problem is that they never have the same name. One time it's Ivan, then it's Ivanovich, then it's Doktor Stoylevesky (or whatever), then it's Petrov, etc. But because I respect our opinion I will try to dig out my copy and find time to read it.

Oh - and I was brought up in Pennsylvania, and went to a school just down the road from the Johnsville Naval Air Station. We had routine duck-and-cover drills since if nuclear war broke out the NAS would be a prime target. I had a teacher who was almost run out of school for reading I.F. Stone. Okay, I admit I was a bit of a radical. In 1962 I led our student delegation to the mock OAS convention, six months or so after the OAS kicked Cuba out, and nothing would suit us, of course, but that we go as the Cuban delegation. When (inevitably) the convention voted to oust us, too, we marched out waving our Cuban flags and chanting "Cuba si, Yanqui no." Nearly caused a riot! But it made a good excuse for not reading the Russians.
