ABOUT THE COVER: "WELCOME
TO THE CITY OF 1000 SPIRES
AND 29 MCDONALDS. "To understand the behaviour of the intelligentsia it is imperative to keep in mind at all times its deliberate detachment from reality: for while the revolutionaries can be ruthlessly pragmatic in exploiting, for tactical purposes, the people's grievances, their notion of what the people desire is the product of sheer abstraction. Not surprisingly, when they come to power, revolutionary intelligentsia immediately seize control of the means of information and impose a tight censorship: for it's only by suppressing free speech that they can impose their csur-reality" on ordinary people bogged down in the quagmire of facts." -Richard Pipes' cThe Russian Revolution, 1899-1919" (p. 131).
