        Will someone please write more about the German PDS, or recommend
some good books to read. I'll make a trip to the OSU Library if needed,
but I've requested probably a half-dozen times for some detailed
information on European communist parties and have recieved very little.
Only Jorn Anderssen was kind enough to submit a survey of the Danish left.
So here is my request list for information:

The Left in France TODAY - Trotskyist Parties, PCF, Maoism
The Left in Italy TODAY - Communist Refoundation, post-PCI parties
The Left in Germany - Party of Democratic Socialism, any other majors?
Any other interesting developments? Spain? Portugal? Greece?
