Sorry about that, Doug old boy, but "Hear! Hear!" is hardly an
"amerikanski" expression. Seems to me it emanates from Parliament 
(any Parliament in the now-or-former Commonwealth).

More substantively: if you think the Soviets should not have access to the
net, you might then have to cut them off from telex, telephone, radio,
print, movie, and other communication media; that isn't going to happen.
They should be welcomed here, and encouraged to learn and teach, as we all
do. If you know a secret, it's _your_ (sometimes moral, sometimes legal)
obligation to protect it.
