THE FOLLY OF REVISIONISM
From the Chronicle of Higher Education via Milt's File.
"Revisionists also argue that totalitarians are wrong to neglect the ways that the Soviet regime did benefit its people. In the March 2000 issue of The Atlantic Monthly, Mr. Getty argued that "terror does not wholly negate achievements such as universal literacy, one of the best technological-education systems in the world, the first man in space, free education and health care, and security in old age."
And the Holocaust should not obscure the fact that the Nazis sure held some fine parades.
