Free enterprise
Sir, — Your correspondent, M. Creel, appears to think that no conditions exist for .creating an elitist class in the Soviet Union. Surely by the excessively bureaucratic riature of its system the Soviet Union opens itself up to a preferment situation for. further up the hierarchy. An obvious sign of this is Mr Brezhnev in his hand-tooled Zil limousine, ■ valued about $70,000'. Why, too, do the Russians have nd equivalent of Watergate, or. even; public investigations of lesser magnitude? No, only minor fig-
ures take the rap. The upper ranks close very effectively and do not give any budding Woodwards and Bernsteins half a chance. — Yours, etc.,
HANK GOORN. August 1, 1980.
