Hmm. Those terms are generally used by the intellectually
challenged. I shall make a note your affliction, and I offer you my
sympathies. I shall also attempt to down grade any communication to
you to words of one syllable, so that you may actually understand the
subject matter (I doubt if any one can actually manage that herculean
feat, I mean, talking down to at theat level, is there any real
information content going through at all?)

"I have a friend who just got back from the Soviet Union, and told me
the people there are hungry for information about the West. He was
asked about many things, but I will give you two examples that are
very revealing about life in the Soviet Union. The first question he
was asked was if we had exploding television sets. You see, they
have a problem with the picture tubes on color television sets, and
many are exploding. They assumed we must be having problems with
them too. The other question he was asked often was why the CIA had
killed Samantha Smith, the little girl who visited the Soviet Union a
few years ago; their propaganda is very effective. Victor Belenko,
