(urth) Urth Digest, Vol 57, Issue 16

[brunians at brunians.org]

Mao was a perceptive guy about some things. Power and how to use it, for

Not a very nice man, but pretty smart.

If three people as different as Mao, Washington and Geller agree about
something, I'd say it's time to sit up and take notice.
