Steamshovel also has the faults as well as the virtues of the UK underground press. Oz and IT and the rest were fascinating but hardly […]
[…] been difficult at times not to become absorbed in the information torrent on the Internet which that event has generated. It has been fascinating watching the American conspiracy buffs going to work on the subject and I have saved large amounts of that torrent with the idea that I will one day write something […]
[…] disarmament was rubbished at home and in the Kremlin (where there was Soviet arms lobby nearly as powerful as the one in the US).
