Mr. Berman stated a while back that the Soviet people are happy.  Yes, they
do enjoy themselves. They are happy that there are only thousands of political
dissapearances, instead of millions.  They are pleased that they can buy
Western goods on the black market without being in mortal danger.  And they
thank Providence that they do not starve as they did only fifty years ago.

See how thrilled these people are!  I cannot help but join them in their
enthusiasm.  In fact I am delirious with joy.

No, it wasn't Mr. Berman who said that. It was Thomas Watson, Chairman
Emeritus of International Business Machine Corporation. Maybe you'd like
to red-bait him instead?
