I think not. Poor analogy -- unless you view the Marxists attending the RM conference as akin to marginalists. If _Monthly Review_ had an article about a conference of Marxists meeting in Germany, I would expect that they would not select an author who had already displayed a bias in-print against that conference months before it was held (indeed, before that person even had the full schedule). If _Monthly Review_ reviewed one of your books, I would similarly insist that they select a reviewer who hadn't trashed your book in public and in writing months before even receiving a copy. I guess I just have different [higher] standards than you. Jerry
