*sighs* I'm a bit afraid to read it. Browsing it has left me with a rather bad impression....but that shouldn't really surprise me, should it? Given the souce.

In other news, I don't know why they let Colin Lucas write the introductory article for the 1993 colloquium on Robespierre; the man is a revisionist sophist. (Because, clearly, when people talk about transparency in government, what they really mean is some kind of pseudo-Calvinist inquisition in which some people are inherently pure and only those people can tell whether others are pure or not. They obviously aren't talking about exposing the illicit or unethical actions of government officials to the People they are supposed to serve . D:<)
