Campaign to correct anti-communist propaganda advances

On February 26th, the Maoist Internationalist Movement won a 
partial victory when the editor and translator of the "Black Book 
of Communism" admitted misplacement of decimal points in the 
chapter on China by Jean-Louis Margolin. Those misplaced decimals 
caused deaths in the Great Leap movement led by Mao to be 
overestimated by a minimum of a factor of 10. In this issue (p. 4) 
we print the letter from Kramer and MIM's response, which presses 
Harvard University Press for more factual corrections. To keep
