	Oh, did i happen to mention in the above that in Poland, when
you wish to vote FOR the Communist Party, you walk to one end of the
room, go into the booth to make the make on the ballot, come out and
drop it in a box at that end of the room, while if you don't vote for
the Communist Party, you don't go to the booth since there is nothing
to mark. You simply go to the other end of the room and drop it into
the box at that end?  No? Oh, Gee whiz! I guess things aren't always
as they seem when one selectivly describes the surfaces of Soviet
actions.  Dear me! We learn something every day!
