Congratulations to RK for citing the great but unfortunately obscure "In Old Moscow"/"My Darling Party Line." For those unfamiliar with this classic of an exceedingly small genre - English-language anti-Stalinist folk music - it's part of a collection entitled "Ballads for Sectarians," written and sung by Tom Glazer and Bill Friedland. I realize that the piece doesn't hang on this song, but references to the Glazer/Friedland oeuvre are so rare that they deserve mention. "Bill Bailey, the Ultimate Sectarian," another gem from the collection, might come in handy for citing some day.

Many thanks, Ron - and, of course, Ibrahim. I've been wondering about the Palestinian reporters who are doing all the eyewitness coverage. They don't have an easy job in the best of circumstances, as you point out. Propagandists operating as journalists turn up everywhere, and maybe there are some in Gaza. As to the real ones like Ibrahim, all best.
