COMMENT:
It might be necessary to state that I certainly hold no brief for the SWP...
But I have got to say that the logic in this above, seems to fall short of 
convinving. If the acid-test is that the big presses notice one, then it all 
seems a little hopeless.
But then, I recall, my spirit reviving a trifle, that the big presses hardly 
took much notice as far as I am aware of it, of Lenin.
But that may be a comparison not to your taste (I have no idea) - but it does 
put a slightly differnt spin on things.
