Hon Sher man illustrates a type of blind nationalism and anti-Arab hatred that borders on being pathological. It is precisely the Katnbo-style policies advocated by Mr. Sherman that produce such widespread hatred for this country lathe Arab world.

Assume now that the Afghan army was as potent as you have assumed (which I dispute). Where did the logistical support for this military come from? The Afghan government would have fallen without major Soviet in volvement in almost all of the Atglian branches of the military and central government. I)o you assume that a country as poor as Afghanistan can afford a modern army by itself? Concerning the Roman's rights issue, the book "Soviet Power" specifically refers to a rebellion starling due to the Afghan secret police, the As qua. interfering-with tribal elec tions and .the autonomy of the outlying districts from the cen tral government.

Sports Illustrated calls it "The Bathing Suit Issue," no hilarity intended. Well, what is it. a guide to the newest fashions in bathing suits? Don't be stupid, it doesn't have anything to do with bathing suits. The models wear them so that no one can call it pornography. What's the purpose? Geez, where have you been? It's made for the entertainment of the readers of Sports Illustrated So. you mean it’s for both men and women? I can't believe you! Of course it's not! Sports Il lustrated is men's magazine, you know, like Playboy and Penthouse. But doesn't Sports Illustrated cover women's sports? Well of course it does. Some men like to see women's sports. You know, it gives them a break from "real" sports, kind of like the "bathing suit" issue does. Gosh. I've seen women buying and reading Sports Illustrated before, I don't get it? Neither do the women; that's the beautv of it! Sports illustrated exploits women’s I todies in order to make money and a lot of women still read the magazine! Well, Sports Illustrated does have the best pictures, you know. Yeah, but all in all, the women aren't real bright are they? Of course not. After all. they're women!
