(but not Disneyland on security grounds?!) Shame that 2 or more generations wasted so much energy and potential on the grounds that "the other side" is evil- when in the end Kruschev was a man who delighted in a free cafeteria servery. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
