The plans took up 91 volumes comprising 70,000 pages, specified precisely the location of each nail, lamp or washstand-everything, in fact, except whether the project was economically sound. An engineer estimated perhaps half in jest that at the rate the paper-wafflers were multiplying, by 1980 the planning agencies might well employ every man and woman in the Soviet Union.
