I suppose the only way to explain it is to recognize that McCain is addicted to the same superstition that afflicted Solzhenitsyn. But when I read Solzhenitsyn I didn't get any kind of feel like that.
                  Frankly, I came away with the impression that if Leon Trotsky had succeeded Lenin, Solzhenitsyn would have been a happy camper--depending on how things went after that, of course.

                  I guess something must be fishy in Siberia.
