So, let's assume for a moment that the nice people in Washington and 
the nice people in Moscow see the light and decide to allow a UUCP 
(or whatever) link between our universities and theirs.  Why 
shouldn't they?  As we have read here over the past few days, it 
would appear that they can't really keep it from happening anyway!  
BUT... are any of us really naive enough to believe that 'useful' 
information is really going to flow bidirectionally across that 
link?  When is the last time you read of a Soviet being arrested for 
trying to sell technical documentation to the U.S.?  Let's get 
serious and drop this facade of innocence regarding the state of 
world affairs.
