Uncle Joe Stalin is a firm believer in that oft-quoted epigram that "to the victor belongs the spoils." And THAT is a famous quotation seldom credited to its real author. It was back in 1832 that William Learned Marcy wrote: "They see nothing wrong with the rule that to the victors belong the spoils of the enemy."
