Mike,
I think we agree that the book was aimed at presenting a sample of his
ideas that would get them a hearing (your phrase.) All I was adding was
the sense that a period of relaxation between the two countries in the
early
seventies was drawing to a close, and that the book would keep an
interest alive that was first fueled by MIT's publication of Thought and
Language. We did hope to get more books published by Soviet authors as
part of the series at that time. Part of the challenge was indeed the
attempt to pull together the two very different manuscripts that Luria
gave
to you.
I don't think we disagree, only that it is hard to present a complex
process in a few lines,
Vera
