    The word I get is that MAIA is extremely sexist and racist, to
the point I've not even considered getting it ( I've heard this from
friends whom I trust implicitly in these matters; normally they bend
over backwards to be fair, so I tend to believe them when they bad-rap
a book ).  Any independent confirmation of this stance from some netter
would be useful.
