In response to Richard Roehl's question about Kondratieff, and  
Esther-Mirjam Sent's reply: 
 
According to Solzhenitsyn (1973, 50) in The Gulag Archipelago (Melbourne: 
Collins) Kondratyev was arrested for planning to be a future "Prime 
Minister" of the (non-existent) Working Peasants Party, was sentenced to 
solitary confinement, became mentally ill and died.  Alec Nove (RES 
Newsletter April 1993, 77, pp.2-3) found in the Soviet archives evidence 
that after serving several years of solitary confinement he was executed; on 
the day that he was due to be released.   
 
And in response to Mary Schweitzer's comments about the role of  
anti-Semitism in America: 
 
 
 
It has been suggested that Samuelson and Friedman suffered from 
anti-Semitism (at Harvard under Burbank, and at Wisconsin).  Both Samuelson 
and Friedman have denied it.   
 
I have nearly finished a long essay on Patinkin's assault on Friedman (1969 
onwards).  My guess is that Patinkin's bunker mentality may have been 
stimulated by the sense of real threat that all Israelis feel.
