No, it's much more insidious than that!  AT&T and IBM are both attempting to
take over the UCB CS department from within.  For all it's vaunted glory,
Edition 8 is snagged and AT&T desperately needs 4.3 source code modified
for their new UNIX PC, while IBM is attempting to stop this coup by releasing
an Sun2 working station in a blue box with IBM painted 10 inches tall on the 
side.  Meanwhile, DEC has been exporting MVI's to the USSR in an attempt to
sell anyone these clunkers, while the FBI and CIA hope that the Soviet army
uses them as their principle computing environment (bring the Soviet death
machine to its knees).
