I've heard that, but never actually read it myself. Which is good, since
I think I got some useful stuff out of some writings of his about the
differences in american press coverage when reporting on el salvador vs.
nicaragua. If I had first encountered Chomsky via his defense of the
Khmer Rouge I doubt I would have read further.
What think you, extropians? Would you rather be judged by the best thing
you wrote, or the worst?
