Leo, I understand that you have read Karl Marx. However, the question
before us is whether you have read "Empire". Without having Henwood's
article on "Empire" in front of me last night, I made a point that
references to IMF, the World Bank and NATO were conspicuously absent--a
point that Henwood, supposedly whose existence on this planet governs
everything I write, seems to agree with. When you are ready to discuss
"Empire" send me a signal, like putting a code word in the subject heading
of your post. "Mishegoyim" or "Shmeggegy" might do.
