Sen. Simon`s letter wasn`t much. Besides a cliche that too much optimism and too much pessimism are both generally unwarranted, he claimed that the USSR is adopting small changes that bode well for the world. ”Small” is certainly right, not to say ”barely visible.”
We hoped that Andropov`s accession boded well because he supposedly like Scotch whisky (is this the definition of a humanitarian?), although he came right out of the KGB. Gorbachev`s wife buys nice clothes, so he is supposed to be a humanitarian, but Afghanistan is still a blood bath and human rights in the USSR are practically nonexistent.
