Indeed! Life in Mexico could have been good for old Leon.

Yeah. Luis Buñuel was there too - or maybe later in the 50s. And Frida + Diego.

I've never met a Trotsky, but I did have dinner last night with a Mercader. He didn't have an ice pick with him.
I went to art school with a Kafka.
My favourite name at the moment is: K.Y Ho. He's been mentioned in the business pages quite a lot.

Meh, although I do like some socialist leaders, I have no reason to believe that Trotsky would have been much better than Stalin.Poor Leon. Killed on August 21st 1940 by Ramon Mercader.

I think Party boy Vyacheslav Molotov would've been the best of all - cocktails all round!
* Buy a bottle of your favourite wine.
* Wrap a clean white napkin around, and serve with a delicious meal.
* Fill the empty bottle with a generous serving of petroleum
( substitute: methanol or ethanol if not available ).
* Re-cork the bottle.
* Soak the napkin in petroleum
( substitute: methanol or ethanol if not available )
* Wrap the napkin tightly and securely around the neck of the bottle.
* Light the napkin.
* Retire to the smoking room.

^hahhaah yeah
It's hard to believe Molotov lived to be 96 after all he's gone through: World War I, the Russian Revolution, the great purge of the Red Army, World War II, getting kicked out of the party by Khurshchev, etc.
