Greg, Did Pipes speculate at all about the future prospects for private
property in Russia? It would be hard to be optimistic on this point in the
context of Russia, so I guess I'm wondering about his degree of pessimism(!)

Sounds like a book which needed to be written, and Pipes is certainly
well-qualified.

Best wishes,

Bill
