one of my favortite insights:

"[OSAF 'asked' the local groups to get on with payments for the daggers] Usually OSAF did not "ask" subordinate levels to do something...The usunual attitude OSAF took in this order, resembling something not totally unlike the oft-derided "burgeois" politeness, reflects the dire situation OSAF found itself in." (footnote 44). Pleeeeeassseee guys! Pay uuppp :-))
