European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 1, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Re Gorbachev needs lessons in lying p a a a Charles Osgood Tribune Media. Service in a government of the people by the peo pie and for the people the people Are the Boss. If the government does t please the people the government will soon be on the outside looking in. So it is understandable that keeping the people Happy is a rather High priority item in the old pc Gorbachev soviet Union and the other so called a people s republics keeping the people Happy was a rather Low priority item. Stalin never worried much about How Well liked he was. A Hruschov never lost sleep wondering about How he stood with the Comrade on the Street if you weren t in Good standing with the Kremlin you would find yourself on the inside of a gulag looking out. From a govern mentus Point of View Here air definite advantages to. Not having to worry about whether the people Are Happy. You can. Make and execute  you think Best without having to justify yourself to the masses or to wonder whether the people Are going to approve. If they Don t approve that a their problem and they better keep it to themselves. And that goes for newspaper reporters and television commentators too a a. Mikhail Gorbachev having changed things so dramatically in the soviet Union now has to Cope with something none of his predecessors cared a Fig about Public opinion. When he fells the soviet people they Are in for higher prices and harder times that this is the Only Way to a Market based Economy and a better life for everybody he has to be ready to take the heat. Of course there a heat. People like the better life part but they do not like the higher prices and harder times part. And they Are saying so out loud and in print. For Gorbachev it seems the honeymoon is Over. But that is because he has Failece to grasp a fundamental principle of fryc world democracy and that is the Power of obfuscation. While Gorbachev and president Bush were chatting privately in Washington or at Camp David Bush could have Given Gorbachev the Benefit of some of his own political experience. No seasoned sophisticated american politician would stand up and Tell the Public something he knows the Public does no to want to hear. What Bush might have suggested is that Gorbachev Tell his countrymen that he has studied the problem and is very much against raising food prices. He could say something such As a read my lips no raising food  people would like the ring of that i think. Later Gorbachev could say that he did the Best he could to prevent the hated increase but that a a they had forced it through. That Way the people might get mad but their anger would be directed not at him but at  thai s How its done  kidding?6 Start who used Middle name or first William Clark Gable Terence Steve Mcqueen Charles Robert Redford.
