Subject: M-I: Levy in a tutu


My Dear Proyect,

If we are to have the Proyect Traviata ( at the Met presumably -- and I have never been to NY, but this will be the occasion to arrive in state, with my 'lom' -- a Russian ice-cracking instrument -- in my hand baggage) -- I swear I refuse to attend unless Levy's Violetta wears a tutu.

I want you all to know, the amoebic-dysentery microphage Paul Zarembka included, that I will later, D.V., be returning to this list with intellectual ambitions at least as grandiose as Proyect's. 

I also will for the fun of it be announcing the name of the member of New Left Review's editorial board who for many years in the 70's and 80s visited Eastern Europe secretly with a passport and other facilities supplied by British Intelligence, on covert anti-soviet missions. In the meantime, I offer a complete set of NLR, 1968-72, as first prize for anyone guessing the right name, and two sets as second prize with a week in Haiti inspecting the Papa Doc Zombie Induction Facility Museum, with wax replicas of Paul Zarembka and Walter Maud assuming the appropriate positions, as Third Prize.

The facts of NLR's substantive assistance to the CIA and MI6 are at least half-known to Doug Henwood as well as wholly-known to NLR and I wish Doug would behave more like a Brit-pack tabloid journo and less like a David Remnick or some other pre-britpack New York Review (highly theoretical) virgin and press two fingers smartly up Robin Blackburn's prolapsed asshole to find out more about how British Trotskyism's most hallowed edifice disgraced itself enough for even my fellow barricadist, my comrade-in-arms, Robert Malecki, to sit up and take note. Not to speak of Beddgood and the other Sanctimonious Ones. (They haven't yet, but they will).

Regards,
Mark Jones
