Abstract

The only reservation concerning the cogent points made by Richard Pipes (Chapter 5 of this volume) stems from a reluctance to share his enthusiasm for the supposed accuracy or complete news coverage provided by any of our dailies. Apart from that, there are no real disagreements. However, one can address the issue in somewhat different terms, that may appear, perhaps, to be overly ‘conceptual’, but relate essentially to operational aspects, rather than being purely philosophical.
