re: They trust the Premier of The Soviet Union but not a bunch of snot-nosed kids from Alviso School? Crazy days.

you think that was crazy? In universities we were required to take military education - all graduates of russian universities were supposed to be officers in reserve. They introduced my brother (I was in high school at the time) to a new mobile ICBM that was so secret that he was not supposed know anything about it, not even how it looks (what an effective commander he would become)<GGG>.

His instructor had a fit and that particular magazine was confiscated and classified <gggg>
