...Joseph's solution? "Perhaps protesters could use some hit-and-run tactics to bring the issue of exclusivity to the forefront of public debate; activists could occupy a final club building and declare it the People's House."

One thing is certain, however; those who seem bent on either closing the final clubs or forcing them to admit women and minorities are attacking the foundations of the democratic ideals they want to protect...

Yet those people are reluctant to join a revolution that may someday be reversed by another leader. The state, for example, has been encouraging moonlighting service operations to register as part of a program to bring the underground economy into the open. But a Moscow teacher who offers tutoring lessons in her free time admits that she is not about to step forward. Says she: "What if the party line changes and goes against private enterprise? If you register, they'll have a list of 'capitalists...
