| #6 I read that story too. I think it was by Nabakov, altho maybe he used a different name. Many Stalinist alagories along with some anti-captialist warnings. Very odd in it's own way. |

| #5 I read a story by Viktor Suvorov about a Russian Army officer who was a disaster. Utterly incompetent, his one ability was to memorize dialectic. At a formal dinner, he got very drunk, pulled down his pants, stuck a fish skeleton in his bum and called himself a mermaid while dancing on the table in front of senior officers. The fastest way for his unit to get rid of him was to promote him, give him a glowing recommendation, and transfer him to their higher headquarters. Higher headquarters quickly learned he was a schmuck, so gave him *another* promotion, and sent him back to his old unit. By bouncing around like that, as well as parroting dialectic, he soon became a very senior general. This reminds me of Weaseley Clark, though Alexander Haig would be a close second. As the saying goes, "The cream rises to the top, and so does the scum." |
