Some years ago Solzhenitzin (never mind the spelling) produced a book called "(Russians and Jews,) Two Hundred Years Together". It was written like a historical kind of work. You know with references and all such. I read the first volume. I decided to keep away from the second. In simple words, this "work" is basis for so called "intellectual anti-semitism" where the anti-semite does not just say that he or she despises Jews, but rather gives very thorough, intellectual, logical proof why this is the right thing to do. Since then, I have very little sentiment for the man. Just to make sure this little detail is known to the list.
