Reprint? Reexamination of the first essay?

You know what would be hilarious to me? A panel made up of right wing types whose predictions from the 1970s or 1980s are Soviet Menace: Juggernaut of Doooooooom and a bunch of lefties whose predictions same period are Soviet Menace: Lucky to Get to 1985.

As the leftists you mention were mostly right, I don't see the right wing showing up. Except Robert Conquest, but as he's nearing the century mark he could be forgiven for declining the invitation.

I note that the Wikipedia article on Conquest does not even mention his most important work, "Spectrum 3" with Amis (one of my first SF anthologies).
