They have common interests and conflicting interests.  They have a 
common interest in repressing Chinese dissidents, to keep the world
safe for National Security Agencies.

Jim, 
 
 
 That's it in a nutshell: They have common interests AND con- 
 flicting interests. 
 
 AND-thinking and the identification of specific time-place- 
 circumstances factors are effectively 
 
                          BANNED. 
 
 
 It's part of the mostly unquestioned "success" of US schools. 
 
 I say mostly because 12 95 The Atlantic Monthly 65 features 
 Paul Gagnon's two essays What Should Children Learn? and 
 Botched Standards. 
 
 
 Cordially,
