Re Being and Nothingness political commentary Hi Major when I read your references for this thread I realised it wasn t about intellectuals drawing the heat but that the Poles were in a land locked political vise combining position history and the ambitions of their traditional enemies Topped off with yalta betrayal by the allies as well it was truly tragic situation for them As this detoured from the original question just didn t want to go on about it in the thread But thank you for putting me onto that helpful and sad at the same time By the way you might like to vet Major Payne for your majors list Not classy but definitely embodied in popular culture Cheers
