Sorry for the poor image quality. The original document was typewritten decades ago. It existed in samizdat on mimeographed copies for years, which were later Xeroxed. A friend sent me a scanned photocopy as a pdf. file. It was scanned upside-down. I rotated it,and photographed it on my laptop screen with my cellphone camera. And you thought the Cold War was over.
